Learn about each state’s flag, motto, fun fast facts, and more as you fill up your passport crisscrossing the country! From Native American history to how immigration impacted the nation, you will explore some of the sites and stories that make this vast land remarkable.

    Did You Know:

    • Montgomery, Alabama, was the site of the first citywide electric trolley system in 1886.
    • Tennessee is home to the largest underground lake in the United States, the Lost Sea, discovered by a 13-year-old boy in 1905.
    • Ohio was home to the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869.
    • Benny Benson, an orphan, designed Alaska’s distinctive state flag in 1927.
    • Montana’s Triple Divide Peak in Glacier National Park is the only place in North America that allows water to flow in three directions — the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and Hudson Bay.
    • Texas is the only state to have flags of six different countries fly over it, and it was an independent nation from 1836 to 1846.

    Review by Thomas
    I bought this book for my youngest son because he loves geography and he loves our country. He has read it over and over. He loves it. I look forward to incorporating it into a geography course with him, maybe next year.
    It's great for all ages
    Review by Mar7
    I actually did this book with all my kids ages 11-2. We would do it before starting the rest of our school. It was so fun, the kids loved learning about the didn't states. They loved their passport books and play like they are traveling still today with them.
    It's a really cool book, I highly recommend it.
    Highly Recommend
    Review by Emily
    This is great paired with the Children's Atlas of the USA or just as a resource by itself. Very inviting book for children that they will want to open! The info in here is great for all ages but a great intro for younger kids to US geography and social studies, whereas the Atlas is more information-packed.
    Beautiful Book
    Review by Tiffanee
    I normally buy digital of everything. However, I decided that for this curriculum, I would purchase the digital teachers guide but buy the physical book of this. I am so glad that I did! The quality of this book is just fantastic. It is just beautiful! MY kids ages 10 and 11 (6th graders) really enjoy looking through this book. It has some pretty good information as well. The only thing my kids said was that they wished each state had just a little bit more information included.
    A keeper

    Review by Veronica
    We love this book too. Learning about the 50 states this year this is such a fun one for some beautiful glimpses into each state. My kids like to copy the state bird and flower picture into their state journals from this book. Such a good resource!
    Such a cute book!
    Review by Lauren
    I used this with Atlas to the U.S.A. and the America's Story series. I really liked the colors of the book and the foods they show that each state is known for. We enjoyed making and eating the things to celebrate the many cultures you see through the U.S. My son really enjoyed filling out his "passport" each day we read and even started looking for each State quarter to collect them all.
    Really excited about this one!
    Review by Rebecca
    I am really excited to do this geography lesson. So far we love it, and it’s hard to put down to move on to our other things.
