Over 100 Books About the 50 States



We're going to be studying the 50 states for geography and since our Africa study worked out so well we decided to tackle the United States the same way!

We'll be spending each week reading about a different state.  We're going to try to read two or three books about each state, prepare a few new meals and snacks, and keep track of each state in our United States Thinking Tree Journals.



Some states it was so hard to find two books about and other states had so many wonderful books it was hard to choose which ones we'd use!

Here are some of the books we plan on using:


1. Alabama: 


Y is for Yellowhammer

4. Arkansas



This book is part of a series about the 50 states 


5. California




6. Colorado

  4. Awesome list and wow that must have taken some time. I want to encourage you on another book for the state of Maine (since that is where I live), it is called The Circus Ship. While the story is a fun, rhyming story about a circus ship thats sinks off the coast of a small Maine town and the animals swim to shore, there is a great history lesson involved. The story is based on actual events, I was so surprised when I read this but found it really interesting. You can go on the web and search more about it and learn more about the history than the small excerpt in the book.

  5. I'm only familiar with a few of these books, but this looks like such a fun project! A great book for West Virginia, if you haven't read it yet, When I Was Young in the Mountains, by Cynthia Rylant. It's about the simplicity of her life as a child, and gives a nice look at Appalachia.
