G is for Garden State

This book, along with the others in this series, is done very well. Pictures are excellent and text is clear and informative.

Amazing book!

I love this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the factoids are really cool. I have purchased about 30 of them so far and have given them away to every child whose birthday party my daughters have been invited. Next I will give away "A is for America" and then, after that has made the rounds, "P is for Passport". All the books in the series are really great. I've purchased other states as well, but "G is for Garden State" is especially close to my heart. 8-)

Really nice book

We liked this book so much, while we were living in New Jersey we gave it to many of our friends and their kids so they would know more about New Jersey - which is actually a very nice state that most people don't know very much about.
