Publisher's Synopsis
Did you know that the United States is the third-largest country in the world, after Russia and Canada? Readers will see the majestic peaks of the Rocky Mountains, the flat prairies of the Midwest, and the historic harbors of the New England seacoast. They'll learn about life in the United States, from the Grand Canyon to the Great Lakes and from Thanksgiving turkeys to Fourth of July fireworks. Easy-to-follow text is coupled with large, vibrant, full-color photographs. Multiple maps and a black-and-white reproducible activity map support the learning experience.
