This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study.Readers will tour this icy state and see how its people live. They will also find out how the area was first settled, what events led to it becoming a state, how it is governed today, and more.

This one is really hard to read even for my nine year old. I read it to them but skipped around in the book to help my kids make sense of the book. We took some of the facts out and read some of them. My kids really liked the pictures and graphics through out the book. We love seeing all the famous people from Alaska and the maps. This book is full of info for all kids. I recommend this for fifth grade and up though.
