The next in the series of Scrambled States books - and another winner!
These books actually remind me of the old Richard Scarry books I loved as a kid. There are so many little side conversations, things to look at, and things to investigate that you can spend several minutes on each page spread, even after you've read the storyline text. Plus, it's all educational! Each state character's comments and actions are reflective of the state's history and demographics. It's amazing what you can learn "by accident" just investigating the book.
I think this book's extras would be too much for really young kids, but the main story is pretty entertaining by itself. Older kids will enjoy investigating the variety on each page, either independently or to read with a grown-up's assistance.
