L.     Brief summary:The Scrambled States of America is a creative story of how the states decided to stay in the correct place. Kansas was a sad state, he only knew his neighbors and he wanted to meet more friends. So Kansas decided to throw a party! All of the states attended,everyone had an amazing time getting to know the rest of the states. Idaho got up and asked if all the states could experience a different part of the country. Everyone hurried and found their new place in the country. But the excitement was short lived, and all the states hurried home. Everyone loved the new friends but loved being home even more.
M.   Description of how you would use the book with students: This is one of the cutest books I have read. Not only was it a fun way to introduce states to students, on the last 3 pages it gives the states, what they look like, their size and population! It also gives the important landmarks of states, like the Gateway Arch or the Space Needles! I would use this book when introducing states for sure! It is such a fun book to read and the pictures are absolutely adorable!
