COPY ISBN
Gr 3–5—Red, white, and blue—themed guides for elementary schoolers curious about U.S. states. Each entry contains a photo and a short paragraph or two of general history. The photos are of high quality, but the information included is limited. For example, the entry for Nevada's flag doesn't explain its "Battle Born" motto. Historic Monuments is the most notable of the bunch for its coverage of a wide variety of landmarks that commemorate natural, Indigenous, and U.S. history. However, the text could be more specific in places; for instance, the entry for the Natchez National Historical Park only mentions "American Indians" instead of identifying specific tribes.
VERDICT Consider Historic Monuments for general reference.
