e is for empire: A new york alphabet book

this entire series is fantastic! the pictures are great. the information is easy. Two levels - the basic is appropriate for childrens ages 3-6 while on the side there is a higher level of information regarding the book you are reading. This literally grows with your child. Hats off all involved with the series - I cannot rave enough over these books.

Learning America State by State

This is a great idea put together! By taking the alphabet and teaching kids a neat way by using rhymes to learn A to Z interesting facts on history and culture about each state in America. I pick this one as my favorite about the state of New York. Each letter describes a featured N.Y. landmark, like B is for Brooklyn. H is for Henry Hudson the explorer from which the river is named after. I wish they had books like this when I was a kid. What's so bad about a book that can educate kids with lots of original, intelligent contents. All 50 states are fun to collect, too-because of all the really beautifully illustrated works.
