ChristusG Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm doing a state study with my kids this year where we "travel" to each state from the comfort of our living room. I would LOVE to purchase a book or an app that is organized by state. In each section there will be nice, color photos of landforms, landmarks, popular places in that state, etc. And maybe some state facts thrown in as well. But I'd be just as happy if it were all photos. For example, in the Florida section I'd love to see photos of the Everglades, the beach, St. Augustine, Disney World, Kennedy Space Center, alligators, etc. Does something like this exist? I've looked around but cannot seem to find one. I told DH that we could travel around the US and create our own....but he wasn't so much on board with that LOL. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I think the time has come for you to write this book! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 We used this: http://www.home-school-curriculum.com/category/us-geography Travel books and videos from the library are fun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABE Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I was lucky enough to find this one at the thrift store: http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Picture-Atlas-States/dp/B000I95HYW It has a lot of text too, but I bought it for the pictures.

Mothersweets Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 There is also the ? channel's "how the states got their shapes". Yes! this!! We've really enjoyed it and I loved one of the ending episodes that explained why people in different regions have accents - you know, where the accent came from, etc. Lots of fun! How the States Got Their Shapes oooh, I see it is even cheaper now. I paid $25 for my set; it is $16.99 now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't remember if it had photographs, but we enjoyed this book about a (fictional) family who travels state to state: Our 50 States: A Family Adventure Across America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm doing a state study with my kids this year where we "travel" to each state from the comfort of our living room. I I did something similar last year, but instead of one book, our library has a set of 50 (plus maybe one for DC ?), each about 30 pages, filled with pictures. Obviously, rather pricey to buy the whole set, but if your library has it, it is a great resource. I think series is called "This land is your land" (?)
