review 1: I think this book is really good because it teaches kids about some of the things or monuments that some states represent, such as Iowa corn and Pennsylvania's Liberty Bell. If you like this book, please read the other one in this "series" that this one is the sequel to. It is called The Scrambled States of America. It is good because it teaches geography and is also tremendously fun. I have a review for that too, just type in "The Scrambled States of America" and you should get two books, this one and the other one. And after those two, you should get the game and the puzzle. I think those are the most educational out of all the other books.
review 2: Keller, Laurie. (2008). The scrambled states of America: talent show. New York: Henry Holt.Category: picture b... moreookThe states have a talent show emceed by Washington, D.C. The story's a little goofy, but manages to get a some tidbits of information about the states into the text, and even more through the illustrations (ex: Pennsylvania plays a tune on the Liberty Bell, Idaho is juggling potatoes, Georgia - peaches, and California - oranges). I found a couple of things really funny: Washington, D.C. asking what DC stands for - someone in the audience gives the answer "department of cucumbers",and intermission with the usual long line of states at the girls' restroom and short one for the guys. The real gold mine of this book is all the information and humor in the details of the illustrations. The end papers have the statehood dates and state abbreviations.Themes: U.S. states, talent showsClassroom uses: read-aloud, study of states, mapping skills less
