This book was written by students in Ms. Brandt's class which does not specify the age or grade. Five students took on ten states to research; autographed by each, and gives a simple but fun look at the states including humor. The reoccurring theme of each state is the state, its nickname, capital and facts that would be of interest to children. The illustrations bring the states to life with the capitals depicted by a star in each students' writing. They wrap things up with a list of all the Presidents, when they served, and where they were born. I think it's a great starting point and reference for 3rd and 4th graders.

This is a great book to learn about the United States of America. It's filled with fun facts and wonderful illustrations. Totally worth the price. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is a very quick read and very informative. I've shared it with my grandchildren. Of course they and I enjoyed the illustrations about each state. I highly recommend it if you are interested in facts about our great United States.

My 7 yr old daughter was in 1st grade when we bought this book. My daughter's class went from studying the 43 presidents to studying the 50 states. We had been pleased w/the presidents book from this same series, so we bought the state version. The small size, paperback nature, reading level, & casual drawings (like an elementary class project) make it VERY KID FRIENDLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for the target audience -is elementary school children who will have a chance to study/grasp more in depth material later.

book is good for learning US.Only the remainder mark at the edge of the book made it looked not entirely new.But anyway, I like the book.

This is a great book for K-2. It gives a lot of great information in a simple form. It is colorful and will keep their attention.
