Celebrate the 50 States!
Grade 1-3 Where are the most potatoes grown? What industry is big in Oregon? Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? The answers to these questions and others can be found in this colorful and creative title. For each state from Alabama to Wyoming plus Washington, DC, and the U.S. Territories readers will find a half-page illustration consisting of a map, a picture of the state bird, flower, and products, playfully arranged along with a few facts, statistics, and bits of interesting trivia. Each picture incorporates at least one question that is answered in the back of the volume. Leedy has outdone herself with delightful illustrative details, particularly in the presentation of each state's name. California is written in fruits; New York is written in lights. This book is truly a celebration of the diversity and wealth of our nation. Jackie Hechtkopf, University of Maryland, College ParkCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
