Pennsylvania (A True Book: My United States)

Pennsylvania is one of America's oldest states-and also one of the most interesting. With its natural beauty, diverse population, and rich culture and history, it has a lot to offer.

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 travel the state and find out what makes it so great, from what kinds of jobs drive its economy to what Pennsylvanians do for fun.
