The Scrambled States of America

SarahKate's Notes:

Laurel (then 10) asked me to get this book, it is really a favorite of hers. It takes a while to read all the little funny comments that the states make, but I think that's their favorite part! I must admit it is rather silly. We also have the game, which we played 3 times a week for the first month we got it. Because of this book and game, Laurel knows nearly all her states.
