Arkansas

In the A True Book: My United States series, children learn what makes each of the fifty U.S. states distinctive and exceptional. In Arkansas they will travel throughout the state cities and towns, explore the Ozark Mountains, full of diverse plants and animals, and find out what it is like to live there, what people like to eat, what kinds of jobs are common, and why it’s nicknamed the Natural State. They will also learn about Arkansas’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.
