Synopsis

Celebrate the richness and diversity of the United States of America in this exciting series. Readers can explore the unique character of each state -- its land and waterways, its history, its government and economy, its festivals, cultural diversity, landmarks and exciting stories of success. Readers will also hear the voices of men and women alive today. They will see the beauties and hidden treasures of each state and hear the social issues and concerns faced by the residents.

Each book opens with a series of quotes by both contemporary residents and people from the past -- giving voice to the state's concerns, admiration for the people, love of the land, nostalgia for the past and excitement for the future.

About this title

About the Author:

Carmen Bredeson is the author of several nonfiction books for children.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 4-8--Comparable to the "America the Beautiful" series (Children's), these volumes are divided into chapters on geography, history, government and economy, people, achievements, landmarks, and state survey. The latter section is especially interesting, with information about symbols, celebrations, famous people, and tourist sites. Both books have large, clear, full-color photos or reproductions on almost every page. Each title also has four maps, the words and music to the state's song, and a typical recipe. In some cases, the predetermined organization is awkward. However, both books are well written and will be useful for reports.
