Reviews
"The titles in this series are perfect for reports on the fifty states. The creative approach may make it more accessible for students who find straight-up nonfiction very dry. Although the back mentions an interest level of grades 1-4, the illustrations and text should work for many struggling middle school students, too."--Kiss the Book Blog
"Colorful and active pages. . . As supplements to state-specific material, these books might pique interest in a state or point children to topics for further reading."--School Library Journal
