Review

This selection celebrates all things Louisianan. The busy and colorful illustrations track Mr. Geo, geography teacher extraordinaire as he hits all the state's high spots. He is in the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, he cooks jambalaya and gumbo, visits the capitol of Baton Rouge, museums, historic districts, bayous, sports arenas and more. Many pages sport "Did you know?" informational captions that are very entertaining and enlightening. These series makes a great option as a resource for kids approximately ages 6 - 10 who are doing a report on states or history. I am hoping to get all of the 50 States to Celebrate books for my library's shelves.

Overall Book Score: very good
