Reviews

Gr 2-5-Each title in this series focuses on a state or territory of the United States of America. Eye-catching photography accompanied by a paragraph or two per section, this series covers major details about each state, including landscape/climate, wildlife, people, entertainment, traditions, and more. Infographics such as maps and charts describe where each state or territory is and the importance of how a population has changed. For example, that the original lands of Ramapough Lenape people covered much of the northeastern United States (New Jersey). Each title includes a time line, a famous person, a popular recipe, local inventions, and key issues in each area, such as climate change in Missouri (Missouri). Facts are summarized at the end in a quick profile graphic along with a glossary, further reading suggestions, and an index. VERDICT Offers a great overview on each U.S. state, good for school projects.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
