A home for their hearts Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 We are doing a USA state study this year so I'm looking for literature based on state. Books can be picture or chapter books. I have a 2nd grader and a 6th grader doing the study. Our library has plenty of non-fiction books for each state. What I really want is non-fiction.

kirstenhill Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Here are a few lists I have bookmarked: http://www.carolhurst.com/subjects/uslit.html http://blog.wrappedinfoil.com/wrapped-in-foil-website/ http://growingbookbybook.com/sample-page/ I think these are mostly picture books. When looking for books about particular states or areas, I have had more luck with googling things like "childrens's books set in California". - rather than relying on lists with one book from each state. I also have browsed books on goodreads with particular tags. So I found one book tagged "California" and then browsed through more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolamum Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Have you considered looking at Simply Stated? They've done all the work, included call numbers, etc. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
