Beautiful illustrations. I will definitely try more on this series. A simple, short writing for each letter. Also, more detailed explanation on each page for older children. Learned a lot of fun information about the state.

The illustrations were really beautiful and the state facts were very interesting, but the book text/the rhyming was pretty awkward…

This aren’t my absolute favorite but when we’re visiting a new state I do enjoy that it gives a good overview. Lots of info and I always like the questions at the back.
