K-3Our Great States series.
This boilerplate series highlights attractions in each state covered. Generic photos and second-person narration make the books feel like glorified brochures. Layouts are straightforward and clean, and the information is well organized but could become outdated as attractions, events, and businesses mentioned change or even close. Sidebars provide richer historical information. A map and facts are appended. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review includes these Our Great States titles in addition to 13 more books in the series: What's Great About Montana?, What's Great About Virginia?, What's Great About Colorado?, What's Great About New Mexico?, and What's Great About Georgia?[cf1}.
