When I was a kid, we had a big hardcover book called, "Our Fifty States". I don't know who published it, or where it ended up, but I have vivid memories of that book. I poured through it, time and again so that I could learn about our country. This book reminds me of that one. It's appealing to kids and has plenty of information many adults may not remember as well. It would make a great addition to an elementary classroom, or gift to a family with children.

I loved the concept of this book. I have several issues though. Maybe the entire book did not download correctly but my ARC ended with YOUNG and I did not see anything after that. Also, for the most part this book was alphabetical but not completely. That seemed weird. There were a TON of typos in the CONTENTS page. One example is Neighborhood (spelled Neighburhood) in contents. Then on the page itself, the title is NEIGHBOURHOOD but within the text it is spelled correctly as neighborhood. I Really did like the concept though and if all the mistakes were corrected I would seriously consider buying this for my elementary library.
