Colorado

In the A True Book: My United States series, children learn what makes each of the fifty U.S. states distinctive and exceptional. In Colorado they will travel throughout the state to explore the tall peaks of the Rocky Mountains, the rolling hills of the Intermontane Basin, and the rushing waters of the Colorado River, and find out what it is like to live there, what people like to eat, what kinds of jobs are common, and the natural beauty throughout the state. They will also learn about Colorado’s history, find out how the state is governed, and see what role it plays in the U.S. economy. A thorough resource section at the end encourages independent study. 48 pages, softcover. Grades 3 – 5.
