Sweet Tweets

This is a wonderful book! I laughed as I read it. I purchased it for a friend who is a 5th grade teacher. Children will love to have this book read to them and older children can learn about our fifty state birds and other fun facts while enjoying the humor of Hudson Talbot. Acceptance, cooperation and diversity are showcased at the conclusion of The United Tweets of America Pageant. What a hoot of a book. Very highly recommend.

What a great book!

The best kind of kid's book--just as much for for the grownup as it is for the child. Interesting facts are a bonus.

United Tweets of America

I bought a copy for my 8 year old grandson and a copy for myself. The book is well illustrated, humorous, and educational. Excellent choice.

A fun blend of history, natural history, and lively discussions

All ages of reader will enjoy this whimsical yet factual parade of state birds which provides a 'competition' featuring them all. Funny state trivia accompanies high humor and whimsical drawings in a fun blend of history, natural history, and lively discussions perfect for grades 4 and older.

USEFUL FOR YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP

This is a fun book that is loaded with "trivia" about each state. It not only has the state birds, but capitol cities, state flowers, and other state animals when they exist. Some states have lists of famous people. The cheerful and often funny illustrations help identify what each state has within it, like seaside, or farm land or whatever. It could be useful in many ways for kids and their parents who like maps, geography, travelling, etc.
