A bit outdated but still interesting facts and some nice pictures about every state as well.

A great kids' atlas, yet useful for adults, too. "My" copy was reclaimed by my sister about 10 years ago, and I found another copy at a Library Sale. Not giving this one up. I refer to it frequently.

This was a big book... so I only read a little bit of facts about a few states.

Beautiful layout, as are all National Geographic publications. Very relevant when I received it as a teenager.
