The United States of America: A State-by-State Guide
The United States of America: A State-by-State Guide
This book exhibits all of the diversity of the American states even as it ties the country into one awesome entity. The authors’ inclusion of endangered species, biographical sketches on the famous Americans from each state, inventions, resources, records, and so much more make this a unique and multi-dimensional work. But it is the art and the treatment of the information that makes this book so special. With a light-handed, fresh approach, and tremendous respect for their subject, the author-artists succeed in painting a truly beautiful portrait of America.

Excellent resource for learning about the states of the U. S.,
This is an excellent book for young children to learn about the states. A topographical map of each state is given along with diagrams and text explaining various facts about the state. Items like the state bird, state flower, state insect, state tree, endangered species in the state, primary crops, unusual natural features, famous people and other points of historical significance. I strongly recommend it for social studies classes or just for quizzes among family members.

|Excellent Primary-level Resource,
My wife is currently a third grade teacher and I used to be one. Recently, she was tasked with a new set of social studies learning targets that include “regions of the United States” (something more frequently taught to slightly older students). We were having difficulty finding age/ability-appropriate resources for her class until she came across a copy of Miller and Nelson’s “State by State”. She asked me what I thought of it and “paydirt” was the word that came to mind. So we ordered additional copies from Amazon and they fit the bill nicely.
Bottom line: for students in the late second to early fourth grades, “State by State” is an interesting, meaningful, and fun-to-use learning resource. It is also an amazingly good value, which helps when a teacher needs to purchase several copies on her/his own coin. Five stars!

|Great Resource,
We bought this for our son, who is in 1st grade, when he had to report on a state for school. He loves the book and is enjoying reading all the facts about each state. The pictures keep him interested and the facts are both standard and eclectic so everyone in our family learned something new from this book. It is also simple enough for him to read on his own. I would highly recommend this book for any elementary school student wishing to learn more about the states.
