Klappentext

Located at the far northeast corner of the United States, Maine is famous for its wild, untamed beauty. 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 hike through the state and explore its incredible landscapes. As they reach Maine's towns and cities, they will also see how the state is governed and what role the state plays in national events. They will also find out what Mainers like to do for fun, what foods they enjoy, and much more.
