by Kenneth C. Davis, author of the best-selling
Don't Know Much About series
Which state boasts the highest waterfall in North America?
Which has the most kids aged ten and under? Do you know where
the most tornadoes strike? Kenneth Davis does - and here's a
book to prove it.
Don't Know Much About the 50 States is a treasure
chest of trivia waiting to be explored. Fascinating, out-of-the-ordinary
facts jump off the page to captivate readers 9-12. It's more
than a geography lesson, as you'll soon find out. Written in
a lively Q/A style, this book contains playful illustrations,
colorful graphics, and plenty of sidebars to feed readers a steady
diet of trivia.
If you don't know where Paul Revere was headed on the night
he made his famous midnight ride, check out p.29. Or, if you'd
like to learn more about Niagara Falls, turn to p.41. What's
so "bad" about the Badlands of South Dakota...and what
in the world is a "nodding donkey"? It's all here,
tucked between the 61 pages of this illustrated hardcover.
