West Virginia (a True Book: My United States)

West Virginia is nicknamed the Mountain State for good reason. It is the only state located entirely within a mountain range

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 scale the state's peaks and visit its towns and cities as they absorb the local culture, learn about history, and more.
