This review is from: The New York Public Library Amazing US Geography: A Book of Answers for Kids (Paperback)

Found this book very useful for information on the geography of the USA. It's a great factbook, and perfect for studying about the United States. If you are looking for a colorful map book on the 50 states, you may want to try other books like: National Geographic United States Atlas for Young Explorers, Third Edition
