DUDES! There's more to Cali than just freeways, surfing, and Hollywood. There are tons of quaint cultural places to go and beautiful big trees. And this book will show you and your kids what CA is all about.The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "California" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
A good book for students who need to write a state report.

If you have a child that neeeds to write a state report for school. Or what a kid book on California. I would suggest this one. Easy to understand, lots of pictures, and great facts. I would recomend this for ages 7-12 and grades 2-7. If you are looking for a indepth study on California, this is not the book. It's 48 pages, and well worth the low price.
