This atlas is written for middle-grade readers looking for more details about our great country. There are plenty of maps and more in-depth articles about the people, culture, and places that make each state so wonderful. Kids will also learn the state flags, state bird, the population with racial and ethnic groups percentages, and lots of fun facts.
Focusing first on the five regions, readers are given highlights or well-known places and what makes that region unique. The State of Iowa page shares important history including Native Americans and German immigrants that established many of our communities. Of course, the agriculture of our state is given much focus. The annual bike ride across the state, RAGBRAI, is featured as well.
The back of the book offers lots of statistical facts and figures as well as a glossary of terms. Parents of kids that are homeschooling or learning from home will appreciate this resource in their home library.

I love maps, and this atlas is full of incredible maps! It's got photos and facts and culture and history, all with colorful designs and interesting little details.
The first thing I did was turn to the page for my state, Georgia, and poured over the pages, finding my town, and looking for nearby national parks and monuments.
I like how the book is divided up by region- SouthEast, SouthWest, NorthEast, MidWest, etc... It makes it easy to find what you are looking for, and to see how states that border each other have a lot in common. I was also happy to see that many of the Native American cultures are celebrated and featured in this book as a major part of the history of many states.
This book does a great job of packing a lot of information into each page without losing clarity or making the page feel jumbled. There's forests, mountain ranges, cities, swamps, ancient trails, rivers, wildlife refuges, national parks, and of course highways all neatly marked on the maps. Because it's a paperback, it's lightweight and perfect for little kid backpacks.
