A great addition to poetry collections

Take a journey through this great county through the eyes of poets. Fun facts from each state, maps and beautiful illustrations enhance the selection of poems. I was hooked from the introduction on. Good for all ages.
Poetry and geography in a great package
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When I was younger I was one of those kids who memorized the state capitals and wanted to know detailed information. I would have been crazy for this book which has some basic factual information, but is really a celebration of poetry and our country. The art is amazing and vibrant. It's a gift book, but I know children will actually dig in and really enjoy reading it. Highly recommed for school units on poetry and the US.
