Set off on an adventure across the fifty states while collecting state flag stickers to fill your America Passport Book! Beginning with a how-to use section for parents, the book provides an overview of America’s history, before taking students on a journey into all fifty states. States are organized alphabetically, although parents may choose to use the regional map in the back cover, and travel through the regional states until the destination is reached! Each state is covered in a 2-page spread which includes the state location on the U.S. map and stats, state flag details, the state flower and bird, beautiful photographs from around the state, and a Did You Know section filled with interesting facts about the state and its people. Paper passport and State Flag stickers are included. This fun resource provides a gentle and engaging introduction to geography. Wanting a more formal study of US Geography?
