Editorial Review

These books offer rollicking road trips through these states. The format is reminiscent of a family’s vacation scrapbook. On each spread, simple, economic text and a photograph of a park, festival, or historic site faces an outline map of the state and its bordering areas. A red station wagon loaded with family and luggage shows the location of the photographed site opposite. On both pages, fact boxes that look like road signs are scattered about. These attractive, kid-friendly books contain a great deal of information. They complement the ‘From Sea to Shining Sea’ and ‘America the Beautiful’ series (both Children’s Press).
