This wacky non-fiction book is a cross-country adventure starring none other than the 50 states. At the first annual states party, Virginia and Idaho decide to swap spots so that they can see a different part of the country - before the party is over, ALL the states want to switch places! At first, everyone is happy in their new places... But soon, things start to go wrong! Find out what happens to the scrambled states and purchase the book here!

This book is the perfect way to begin a unit on the United States of America. I think that people generally have the idea that non-fiction books are boring and dry - however, this book is wacky, quirky, and whimsical, sure to entertain! The book contains facts about the 50 states but keeps the reading fun in such a way that will get your kiddos interested in geography. 


Continue your adventure with the states by reading The Scrambled States of America's sequel, The Scrambled States of America Talent Show!
