Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 11/01/2012 Gr 1–3—Similar in scope to "Our Amazing States" (Rosen/PowerKids Pr), each title is a veritable Chamber of Commerce. In a few short paragraphs per spread, the highlights of each state (geographical location, population, primary industries, landmarks, and early history) are described. A "Hometown Heroes" section focuses on famous people. A mix of modern-day and historical figures connects the past to the present. For example, Francis Scott Key and Michael Phelps are the notables from Maryland. A "Tour Book" spread suggests fun places to visit. A "Fast Facts" section includes date of statehood and other information. Clear color photos and reproductions flanked by stars-and-stripes borders are eye-catching. Simple, straightforward tables of contents and indexes are ideal for students just learning research skills. The content is well organized and the uncluttered layout and ample white space make the large-font text pop. - Copyright 2012 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
