From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-This oversized guide devotes one page to each of the 50 states, giving a general historical, geographical, and cultural overview. Each entry includes basic facts; a topographic map; a few descriptive paragraphs; and two boxes that highlight individuals, significant events, or other topics. The alphabetical arrangement often provides interesting contrasts between states in different regions. The layout is elegant in its simplicity. A great choice for browsing or curriculum support.
