The kids in Ms. Brandt's class create a special report on the United States of America, with each child doing research on ten states. There's a double-spread map of the whole U.S. and a page for every state jam-packed with trivia, interesting facts, handwritten captions, and jokes. At the end of the book is a map showing how the United States grew over time, a spread on the presidents and what states they hailed from, as well as a "bibliography" of books the kids used in their research. Written by a team of well-known author/artists, this 64-page Smart About History book is a great guide for kids.

This book was written by students in Ms. Brandt's class which does not specify the age or grade. Five students took on ten states to research; autographed by each, and gives a simple but fun look at the states including humor. The reoccurring theme of each state is the state, its nickname, capital and facts that would be of interest to children. The illustrations bring the states to life with the capitals depicted by a star in each students' writing. They wrap things up with a list of all the Presidents, when they served, and where they were born. I think it's a great starting point and reference for 3rd and 4th graders.
My 7 yr old daughter was in 1st grade when we bought this book. My daughter's class went from studying the 43 presidents to studying the 50 states. We had been pleased w/the presidents book from this same series, so we bought the state version. The small size, paperback nature, reading level, & casual drawings (like an elementary class project) make it VERY KID FRIENDLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for the target audience -is elementary school children who will have a chance to study/grasp more in depth material later.
I enjoyed this book very much. It is a very quick read and very informative. I've shared it with my grandchildren. Of course they and I enjoyed the illustrations about each state. I highly recommend it if you are interested in facts about our great United States.
My students enjoy reading all of the facts within this book. This is a part of a series of history books that are entertaining to kids not only because of the illustrations, but also because of the content. My average third grade readers are successful with this book, and my higher readers find the facts engaging.
This is a great book to learn about the United States of America. It's filled with fun facts and wonderful illustrations. Totally worth the price. I highly recommend this book.
What a great book. I homeschool and I was looking for something with information on each state. The information and illustrations are interesting. My 10 year old son enjoyed reading it......and that does not always happen :). Very pleased with this purchase.
My seven year old keeps this book in the car and reads a bit here and there while we're driving around or on road trips. Since getting this book for Christmas a couple of months ago his knowledge of the U.S. and his understanding of states has increased. This book is easy and fun to read, and is perfect for young kids who are starting to learn about geography and the U.S.
This is a great book about the 50 states. My 2nd and 4th grader both enjoyed it. It is easy to read and informative. The illustrations in the book are great. I don't buy many book in print unless at a thrift store as the price for books can be outrageous. This book was definitely worth the price and I am glad I purchased it.
