Description:

In 51 charmingly illustrated infographic maps, explore every state of the USA from Alabama to Wyoming and the nation’s capital to discover more than 2,000 facts that celebrate the people, cities, nature, and historic events that have helped make America what it is today. You'll also get an expansive guide to the state flags and US presidents.

Ghost towns, swamp tours, the center of the universe…bacon donuts, brainy berries, salmon jerky…The French Fry King, The Mother of Oregon, The Queen of Blues…be inspired by the inventiveness, beauty, and diversity of the United States in this
curious collection of fact-filled maps.

On each wonderful map, find:

  • A welcome box with a short introduction to the state
  • Key facts, including the capital; state bird, flower, and tree; and statehood order
  • State icons celebrating the state’s people, places, and history
  • Six inspiring people who have a connection to the state
  • Region spotlight bubbles to allow you to discover more about one particular place
  • A moments to remember box with a list of significant dates and their events in the state’s history

Each state’s map also contains information about which states it neighbors, its bodies of water and borders, as well as where it is situated in the country. Did you know that while Hawaii shares its border with no one, both Missouri and Tennessee border eight other states? Many state parks, battlefields, national forests, and reservations are also included to inspire you to respect and explore the great outdoors.

So pack your bags and say later ‘gator…the great States await!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2–5—A colorful introduction to the 50 states. Each spread details a different state and includes an oversize map and some information. Similar in format to Lynne Cheney's Our 50 States: A Family Adventure Across America (S. & S., 2006), Balkan's book is more neatly rendered (states are in alphabetical order). Facts are laid out on the map and in a separate column. This volume offers the usual content, such as statehood date and order, state flower, and state bird, as well as fun trivia (Pennsylvania is the home of the first banana split). In addition, Balkan provides interesting historical and geographical tidbits not usually found elsewhere and spotlights famous people from each state. Especially nice is the way the author features prominent women and minorities. For instance, the spread on Georgia highlights Yamacraw Indian chief Tomochichi, author Flannery O'Connor, and singer Little Richard. The illustrations are colorful and childlike. Though bright and appealing, the portraits lack detail. Other works, such as Mark H. Brockenhauer's Our Fifty States (National Geographic, 2004), examine the subject in more depth. Still, this is an above-average title on a popular topic, and state trivia enthusiasts will find it entertaining and useful. VERDICT The up-to-date material and the demand for offerings on the subject make this work a recommended purchase for public and school libraries.—Margaret Nunes, Gwinnett County Public Library, GA

The media could not be loaded. Beautiful illustrations and great information on each state! I purchased this book on a sale for 50% off and it's definitely worth it for that price. This will be the foundation of my geography lessons this year as I homeschool my 5 and 6 year olds. I am creating activities to accompany each state and plan to "visit" one state per week.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and fun to read

K. · August 1, 2025

Love this book. We use it for homeschooling and learning about the 50 states. It is thorough about the state facts while also keeping fun snippets of information small and easily digestible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Illustration and lots of information

M.F. · November 9, 2024

I absolutely loved the book for my son. It showed A LOT of information about every state. I would give it 5 stars but it contains too much for my child who is 6. If he were older and the information was not so overwhelming I’d definitely give it 5 stars. Other than that, you learn so much about every state and I like that in the back of the book it shows their flags and all the 46 presidents. It was very good for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent!

Découvrir les USA

E. · August 17, 2018

Les États-Unis et moi, c’est une longue histoire d’amour et quand je trouve un bel album qui parle de ce magnifique pays, il vient rapidement rejoindre notre bibliothèque. Ici, il ne s’agit pas de repérer les fleuves, les montagnes et les rivières, mais plutôt de découvrir l’histoire et les particularités des états américains. Chaque page est emplie d’une petite introduction et d’une kyrielle d’informations intéressantes et propres à chaque état: ses réalisations magistrales, ses personnages inspirants, ses curiosités…On découvre aussi une carte d’identité de l’état en question (capitale, villes principales, oiseau, fleur, arbre…) et les moments importants à se rappeler de son histoire. À la fin, on trouve même les 44 derniers présidents des États-Unis d’Amérique (Obama étant le 44ème) et les magnifiques drapeaux de chaque état.Ce livre documentaire est très sympa, il est ludique, esthétique, intéressant et on peut y piocher à loisir de petites informations qu’on peut alors étudier plus en profondeur. Le livre parfait pour trouver des sujets d’exposés sur les États-Unis. Je vous laisse le découvrir en photos. Un bon moyen pour vous familiariser avec l’histoire de ce pays qu’on aborde peu ou pas à l’école et qui est pourtant si passionnante. Il existe une version villes sur le même modèle et une version espagnole va même parue au mois de juin 2018.

Grande quantidade de informações, bom material

Vou usar com meus alunos!
