MY RATING: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
REVIEW
I find refreshing reading children’s books and romance novels in between thrillers. It is also a relaxing experience as the themes and elements in children’s literature take me back to those carefree and simpler childhood times.
This title explores each of the U.S. States, on each page there’s a large picture that contains various objects, flora, fauna, and places related to that State. Below there are three words you can “spy” on the image which seems like a fun activity to play with a child. Some of the places were recognizable but others were not and there was no explanation of how they were related to that State.
Overall, I enjoyed it but would’ve liked to have seen a footnote below the images with the description of it, it would have made more interesting my reading experience.

I have this one as well, but haven’t gotten to it yet! The illustrations are what attracted me, and the fact that my 7 year old triplets are very interested in geography at the moment. Based on your comments, I’m actually more interested in seeing what you mean. 🙂
It’s hard to explain this book, it will be easy to read it with your children but you have to set it on landscape mode on the tablet to be able to see the image properly. I hope they have fun finding the images 😊
I love the cover. I agree, nice to know what the relationship is. Nice review.
Hi Caro, great review. I gather it’s best to buy/borrow the physical book than read it through a digital format.
