Book Description
At the first annual "states party," Virginia
and Idaho hatch a plan to swap spots so each can see another
part of the country. Before the party is over, all the states
decide to switch places.
In the beginning, every state is happy in its new
location. But soon things start to go wrong. Florida, who
switches spots with Minnesota, is freezing in the frosty
northern climate, and Minnesota hasn't brought sunscreen and
is getting an awful sunburn. Will the states ever unscramble
themselves and return to their proper places?
Packed with madcap humor and whimsical illustrations, this
quirky story--starring all fifty states--is chock-full of
introductory facts and silly antics that will make learning
geography as much fun as taking a vacation.
