Pretty fun picture book looking at different ways to think of the shapes of each state in the USA. Great for anyone of any age who already has some familiarity with the map of the United States. Could be quite confusing for kids who are just learning how maps work, because it shows the states all separated. Kids could challenge themselves to make their own puzzle maps out of cardboard and manipulate the pieces for kinesthetic learning.
