Washington (A True Book: My United States)

A True Book: My United States series allows readers to experience what makes each of the fifty state distinctive and exceptional. Readers will get to know each states' history, geography, wildlife and future outlook. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study. Readers will explore these natural landscapes and visit Washington's greatest towns and cities as they learn about the state's history, culture, and wildlife.
