Add a CommentYes, you'll get the usual info: capital, motto, and state flower. But you'll also explore a wide variety of famous and lesser-known people, places and things highlighted across each large state map. I learned a few new things about my home state of North Carolina, including that we had our very own Tea Party protest in 1774 and that we host a Hollerin' Contest in Spivey's Corner every year!
Great atlas for kids to ponder facts about the states. Each 2-page spread per state is packed with quirky illustrations of unusual attractions, famous native daughters and sons (the book deserves an A for the diversity of its choices in this category), natural wonders, state birds, capitols, etc. On a recent car trip, my 7-year old was completely hooked on "collecting" license plates he saw from other states, and this book was the perfect companion piece after we returned home.
Wonderful reference tool for children. Recommended.
