Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7-These colorful and attractive updates contain comprehensive facts on each state. Each title covers the history, geography and environment, government and its structure, economy, people, and tourist attractions of the area. "Fast Facts" sections give key statistical information, listings of natural areas, college and professional sport teams, cultural institutions, annual events, and famous individuals. There are some minor errors in North Carolina. Wake Forest University is listed as Lake Forest; one outdated picture shows North Carolina National Bank, which became Nation's Bank several years ago. Sidebars, maps, full-color photographs on most pages, and attractive layouts make these appealing additions where state information is needed.
