Amazing States is filled with activities to reinforce student learning about our fifty states. An outline map accompanies each state for use in pinpointing the location of various cities, landmarks, rivers, and other important features. Crossword puzzles, word searches, multiple-choice exercises, true-false activities, scrambled word problems, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and complete-the-sentence activities emphasize the unique characteristics and features of each state. Activities also focus on important people, state symbols, and significant resources and industry found within the state. Students will develop a greater interest and appreciation for those states with which they are unfamiliar. A complete answer key is also included.

“Roy! Roy! where are you?” Peggy Prescott came flying down the red-brick path, a rustling newspaper clutched in her hand. “Here I am, sis,—what’s up?” The door of a long, low shed at the farther end of the old-fashioned garden opened as a clattering sound of hammering abruptly ceased. Roy Prescott, a wavy-haired, blue-eyed lad of seventeen, or thereabouts, stood in the portal. He looked very business-like in his khaki trousers, blue shirt and rolled up sleeves. In his hand was a shiny hammer. Peggy, quite regardless of a big, black smudge on her brother’s face, threw her arms around his neck in one of her “bear hugs,” while Roy, boy-like, wriggled in her clasp as best he could.
