This review is from: New Jersey (Portrait of America) (Library Binding)

Bounded by the Hudson and Atlantic to the east, and by the Delaware River to the west, New Jersey has a lot to offer to the visitor or to those who've lived there all their lives. Just don't wander onto Tony Soprano's lawn. The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "New Jersey" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. And this edition is loaded with several beautiful photographs. The "Culture" section is my personal favorite. This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
