50 Adventures in the 50 States

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lydia Hill. Double-page spreads feature eye-catching illustrations full of movement and detail; each scene focuses on a particular outdoor activity and includes other bits of relevant information. Some activities involve a specific site (boulder climbing in Alabama's Cherokee Rock Village); others are more general ("Learn to ski or snowboard" in Maine). The entries can include snippets about natural history, earth science, and Indigenous populations, as well as helpful tips: while snowshoeing in Connecticut: "If you're going down a steep hill, bend your knees and keep your weight back so you don't somersault down the slope!" "5 Adventures in Your Own Neighborhood!" and an index conclude the offering.
