I love these books, and I am 35 years old. These books are so fun for my kids. I have one for almost every place we have lived(we have moved around quite a bit). I love the information in these books, very educational and yet entertaining. Highly recommend them.

I love this book and so do my students. It has wonderful pictures and great information about Washington State. One of the best features of this book is that it can be used for young children or older children. Each page has low level reading text and then on the side of each page there is higher level text with a lot more detail and factual information.
