The kids in Ms. Brandt’s class create a special report on the United States of America, with each child doing research on ten states. There’s a double-spread map of the whole U.S. and a page for every state jam-packed with trivia, interesting facts, handwritten captions, and jokes. At the end of the book is a map showing how the United States grew over time, a spread on the presidents and what states they hailed from, as well as a “bibliography” of books the kids used in their research. Written by a team of well-known author/artists, this 64-page Smart About History book is a great guide for kids.
Written and illustrated by Jon Buller and Susan Schade, Maryann Cocca-Leffler, Joan Holub, True Kelley, and Dana Regan.

Fun and Useful for 3rd-4th Grade,
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.
