Arizona

In the A True Book: My United States series, children learn what makes each of the fifty U.S. states distinctive and exceptional. In Arizona they will travel throughout the state to explore its dramatic landscapes, the powerful rivers, lush green forests, deep canyons, and snow-capped mountains. They will find out what it is like to live there, what people like to eat, and what kinds of jobs are common. They will also learn about Arizona’s history, find out how the state is governed, and see what role it plays in the U.S. economy. A thorough resource section at the end encourages independent study. 48 pages, softcover. Grades 3 – 5.
