This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

"This volume is divided into chapters on geography, history, government and economy, people, achievements, landmarks, and state survey. The latter section is especially interesting, with information about symbols, celebrations, famous people, and tourist sites. Both books have large, clear, full-color photos or reproductions on almost every page. Each title also has four maps as well as the words and music to the state's song."
