A cleverly organized compendium of state facts for young students! This series’ unique photo album–like design promotes quick reading (one-to-two simple sentences per page) yet encourages students to pore over high-quality color photos of great places to explore in 20 U.S. states—while being “hosted” in each book by a boy or girl cartoon figure, a state native. VERDICT Highly recommended for public and school libraries. Ask students which states or places they would like to visit and why.
