This book is jam-packed with activities and games to keep children occupied.

The layout starts with the Pacific Coast and the Northern Rocky Mountains and travels through the Southwest, Central states, the South, the Middle Atlantic, and ends in the Northeast.

The factoids of US states and their cities in this book allow everyone to have some fun.

I used this in my classroom with first graders while reviewing US geography, and it was a favorite among students of all levels.

The riddles are fun (what has a bed, but never sleeps?), the graphics are cool and colorful (page 56 and 57 with Cape Kennedy and St. Augustine), and the tidbits of knowledge are plentiful.

I buy books like this all the time to entertain my kids in the car or in resteraunts. These Rand McNally books are always their first choice. I think the age is off though; my five year old can do this only with older siblings help and my 13 year old still enjoys the activities.

I bought this book to introduce my kids to places in the United States. They are now interested in geography and spend time reading the book and doing the games. It is a great book to keep them occupied while traveling in the van.

All four of these Rand McNally books were great entertainment for our boys as we drove across the country.
