Across the USA Activity Book

Heather Alexander, illus. by Michael Mullan. Kane Miller, $14.99 ISBN 978-1-61067-685-4

This activity book offers readers a veritable American road trip by way of geographically themed games, riddles, design activities, knowledge quizzes, and other tasks. Alexander integrates facts and insights into cultural and historical attractions across the states, and Mullan works in a playful art style that brings variety to each spread. In a scene depicting an Old West mining town, readers are invited to track down bags of gold; elsewhere, readers can draw dinosaur bones they might discover in fossil-rich regions. Armchair travelers or readers on the road will find much to explore. Includes stickers and a removable U.S. map. Ages 6–up. [em](Sept.) [/em]
