Children can access a wealth of information including state flags, birds and flowers. Throughout the atlas, maps, photographs, and text reinforce one another, making this an exciting round-the-country adventure "and" a fun-filled learning experience. This is a must-have addition to libraries, classrooms, and homes nationwide; when it comes to America, young minds deserve the guidance of the acknowledged experts in all matters national and all things geographic.
