great learning tool

We just got the book kids learn america for our homeschool. As a family we hope to learn more about the nation that we live in. The first state in the book is connecticut. It talks about Mark Twain living and writing there. So that opened a discussion on his writing as we will be watching a movie based on his writings tonight as a family. I look forward to learn more as we got through this book.

Did you know that Minnesota, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" has an amazing 90 lakes called Long Lake? Or did you know that the two Choctaw Indian words "okla," meaning people, and "humma," meaning red, makes up the state Oklahoma? Well, these facts along with a plethora of other information can be obtained in this fantastic book.This book is absolutely perfect for children. Each state is consisely laid out in an easy-to-read format that is loaded with information. The drawings are also excellent in peppering the pages to break up all of the details. This is a type of hands-on book that challanges children to learn about their country in fifty educationally-fun geography lessons. This book gives its readers a lesson in human spirit by teaching a little bit about America's past, while imploring everyone to partake in it's future. This book is a must read for children.

My kids loved the book!

We ALL learned so much about America! This book was not only informational, but it was so much fun to read and try out the great (easy) crafts and delicious recipes. This is a book that every family needs to have in their home. I know that my family now has a greater appreciation for our American history and the sites where so many memorable events took place.We live in Georgia and my childeren are anxious to visit the historical and current places featured in the book. We're all excited to see more of our wonderful country.
