Nobody's born knowing the capital of Wyoming, but kids can put an end to their geographic struggles with the Scholastic Atlas of the United States. This slick, well-organized reference is perfect for browsing--the states are arranged by region, and each is explored on a two-page spread with a colorful map, table of facts, and a short essay on its history, economy, and more. Each state is also highlighted on a map of the continental U.S. and a specific aspect of the region's natural resources, weather, or economy is explained in an accompanying chart. Appendices cover U.S. territories and historical and geographical dimensions of the country as a whole. Whether your student is helping to plan a trip to Cheyenne or writing a report on the mighty Mississippi River, this atlas serves as a solid resource. (Ages 7 and older) --Rob Lightner
