Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up - Following a foreword by former President Jimmy Carter, a map of the United States featuring major population centers, and one spread on Washington, DC, this visually appealing book is organized by regions: the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West, with a map of each region and a short history. Four pages are devoted to each state and include basic facts and a map. The full-color photographs are outstanding. Reproductions of archival illustrations depict four important events from each state's history. The final sections offer a paragraph about each of the territories and a page of facts and figures about the United States. An extensive index completes this easy-to-use resource. National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Fifty States (1994) contains more extensive information but is dated. - Ann Joslin, formerly at Erie County Public Library, PA

I purchased this book to go along with our homeschool history and geography curriculum. The book is jam-packed with excellent photos and interesting facts. However, I was disappointed that the maps of the states did not include lines of latitude or longitude, which really limits the book's use as a geography resource.

Bought for my 6 YO son who is in 1st grade and eats the facts up. Well written and a nice balance for each state. Cool photos and facts for school projects.

OK but reads a little like an unimaginative teacher wrote it. The info is good but the prose less than compelling

Great book!
This book will be used in my classroom as we discover the regions of the United States. It has much of what we need to explore different parts of our social studies curriculum.
