Greetings from the 50 States: How They Got Their Names

112 pp. | Scholastic | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-83439-1 $18.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Selina Alko. Each state is featured in a double-page spread, with a map and (overcrowded) illustrations of interesting characteristics on the left and a brief explanation of the state's name and nickname on the right. The text's conversational style and focus on historical oddities make it easy to read and accessible, but the documentation is uneven. Websites.
