Description

This colorful book provides a fun and unique way to learn about the fifty states. If you love antique circus wagons, you'll love this book even more! Each page features a different state and a drawing of a unique, colorful, detailed circus car. Within the design of the car are illustrations and information about the featured state. The designs and illustrations on the car are reflective of the state and information/graphics include things like the state bird, flag, and flower, as well as natural resources and famous landmarks. The train cars are presented in the book in the order in which the states they feature achieved statehood and the date of statehood is listed with a brief description on how the state was named. The bottom of each page lists the state's capital, flower, tree, and bird, along with a unique fact about the state. With the great circus-train theme, this really is a fun, visually appealing way for kids to learn about the fifty states (and Washington D.C.). 60 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
