Basher History: States and Capitals is the follow-up title to the bestselling Basher History: U.S. Presidents. This unique and comprehensive guide to 50 states (plus DC and the six territories) presents each state in the hip Basher fashion. Who better than Basher to give each state a face, voice, and personality and to give kids a fun, unusual but really information-packed gazetteer of their country. From Alabama to Wyoming, and everywhere in between, each state boasts about why it is special, dishes fun facts not found elsewhere, and waxes poetics about its motto, state bird, flag, state flower, and more! Find out how Connecticut got to be called the Provision State, why Georgia is nuts about nuts and why Illinois is called the Land of Lincoln.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book for people of all ages! Lots of fun facts on every State!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015

The book is 7 inches by 7 inches, a little smaller than I thought but I never looked at the size either. It's a great book, and I love how it shows where each state is on the map in the right hand corner of every state. It also has a lot of facts about each state as well. Each State is a two page spread and on the left side it shows the Capital, some facts about the state, a few paragraph's also about the state, and at the bottom it shows the population, when the state joined and what number state it was, the abbreviation, state flower, state bird, and it's nickname. On the right hand side is just a full picture of the state's shape and like I said, there is a pic of where in the USA the state belongs in the top right hand corner. Great fun facts to learn about each state! My 10 yr old son and I really enjoy learning the fun facts each state. I would recommend this book to people of all ages but especially elementary aged children. SUPER fast deliver too! Very pleased!

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Basher Books!
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016

This book is a great introduction to the U.S. states. Each page shows a cartoon picture of a state and lists various information about it. The information provided includes the capital, the year it became a state, the state flower and bird and anything that makes the state unique. My 7 year old son loves reading about the states and then telling everyone he meets about them. This has certainly sparked his interest in geography and U.S. history.

This is one of many Basher Books that we've purchased and I've never been disappointed by them! Every one is a great addition to our homeschool library!

I borrowed this from the library, but my son and I enjoyed reading about each state so much I bought it for our very own library. It's a quirky book that I didn't think much of after skimming the pages, but my kiddo loves it! We taped up a U.S. map to follow along with the states we're reading about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent material for learning the States and Capitals
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
My goal was for my kid to learn the states and capitals, since his school did not cover that in the 5th grade. (that was the grade I had to memorize them ) My 11 y/o used the source material in this book to create flash cards for learning the states and capitals. He's been able to learn most of them. After a few more sessions, he should have it down. In that regard, this book accomplished what I was trying to achieve. So for that reason, i can recommend it.

Wonderful book for my 6 year old. Perfectly written, illustrated and informative without being too overwhelming for a child. I would say this book would be one that would take my 6 year old into middle school, as the information will grow with him as he grows. He can take the more simple information for what he needs, and then comprehend the entirety of the book as he gets older. I recommend these for all children!
