(4) K-3 Green Light Readers: 50 States to Celebrate series. Illustrated by C. B. Canga. Mr. Geo gives a necessarily brief but enthusiastic and generally child-friendly introduction to Illinois. He begins with a number of pages about Chicago before moving on to the rest of the state. Being Mr. "Geo," he keeps geography in mind, while touching on topics such as history, climate, and places of scenic beauty. Though not especially remarkable, the genial illustrations are serviceable.

(4) K-3 Green Light Readers: 50 States to Celebrate series. Illustrated by C. B. Canga. Since these brief books are for newly independent readers, Mr. Geo, the cheerful geography teacher, can only offer whirlwind tours. He mentions geographical features, cities, natural resources, wildlife, history, products, and weather, not forgetting sports teams and tourist attractions. They're all pictured in serviceable illustrations with touches of humor. Fast facts and activities complete each useful (if limited) volume. Timeline. Glos. Review covers these Green Light Readers: 50 States to Celebrate titles: Celebrating North Carolina and Celebrating Washington State.

(3) 4-6 Celebrate the States series. The geography, history, and people of each state are examined in books notable for their beguiling color photos and clear-eyed prose. Especially interesting are the chapters that describe places to visit--some well known, some obscure--within that state. Maps, songs, recipes, and graphs are interspersed throughout; each book in this series concludes with a section of state facts, a list of famous citizens, and a timeline. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Celebrate the States titles: Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota.]

(3) 4-6 Celebrate the States series. Despite the series title, this volume examines not a state but a commonwealth. The clear prose explains this distinction and also examines Puerto Rico's history, geography, and people. A chapter describing places for tourists to explore on the island is particularly appealing. Maps, songs, recipes, and charts supplement the text, as well as a calendar of celebrations, a list of famous residents, and a timeline. Bib., ind.
