Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-6-Attractive, full-page photos of each state's most famous and intriguing places are this series's best feature. In a uniform format, the books provide introductory and basic report material. Most topics are covered in a single page, sometimes in a single paragraph. Lengthy photo captions have enough information to supplement the main text. Extras include images of state symbols, physical and political maps, population and climate graphs, short bios of famous people, and a "Fast Facts" section. While the set overall doesn't have much depth or a fresh perspective, it does introduce the landmarks and cultural characteristics that most represent each state's heritage. VERDICT Strong supplemental purchases. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
