Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-3-With the picturesque perfection of a chamber of commerce brochure, the land of purple mountain majesties is made accessible to report writers. This set covers the basics of geography, topography, major industries, and culture (including recipes). The information is well organized and the writing is direct and simple. The use of large, bold fonts; captioned, high-resolution photos and reproductions; and a colorful layout makes for a high-impact, attractive presentation. "Pit Stop" text boxes include oddball facts, such as "The Great Basin is home to the oldest kind of tree still alive today-the bristlecone pine." Great intros to the American landscape.
