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.

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.
