Great for Children and Adults too!

This is a very creative and entertaining book, that I recommend for parents and children. It presents an original way to learn about georgraphy, but it also introduces kids to art and graphic novels. Phil Yeh's characters are fresh and fun, and his approach is very engaging. Nice work!

Even the most reluctant young beginning geography learner will relish the fine approach

What is the best way to learn U.S. geography? Through Patrick Rabbit and a fun group of Dinos, who embark on a national tour of the U.S. Each page presents two states of information, using a full-color graphic novel cartoon format to spice up the facts, along with dinosaur conversations of discovery. Even the most reluctant young beginning geography learner will relish the fine approach that blends nonfiction with fiction in an exciting graphic novel format.

Travel with the Dinosaurs

As one of America's best and most innovative cartoonists, Phil Yeh continues on the 22nd year of his world tour. Promoting literacy around the world with `Cartoonists Across America and the World', Phil and company have painted murals, and piqued the interest of children everywhere. With their commitment to promoting good quality literature, NBM has teamed with Phil and presented his `Dinosaurs Across America' with this high quality, full colour edition of the black and white comic. As a Canadian citizen, I admire his enthusiasm for his presentation of the basic geography of the United States. With 51 states to learn about, this is one great way to catch and hold interest. The graphics are eye catching, and the catchy colors and photo shop backgrounds turn this presentation into a great classroom resource. Aimed at a young audience, Patrick Rabbit and the dinosaurs get their points across easily while interesting readers of all ages. Phil Yeh and his cartoonist friends at CACAW, are to be applauded for raising the bar in their efforts to reach the youth of our nations. Buy one for your favorite classroom today. Tim Lasiuta
