I am reading a book called States And Capitals by Dan Green. It is about the States in America. The characters are the States and they are trying to inform the reader about themselves. They are cute and funny. Whenever the book is talking about the State, it uses “I” instead of “it”.  My favorite example is when Massachusetts said, “I made the first chocolate chip cookies.” I like that because it makes learning fun. Thinking about the States as characters is fun, but it can also be annoying.

This book is good for kids who love to learn and figure out things.  While there is no big plot, it has a lot of information, and a lot of good stories so there are a lot of little plots. It made me laugh when Texas said, “In April we celebrate Eeyore  from Winnie the Pooh’s birthday.” I  was surprised to find out that California had 37,254,000 people. I did not know a lot about all of the States, but I want to learn even more about them while reading this book.

I enjoyed this book for various reasons.  First, it is good for me because it is a Basher Book and I have read Basher Books before and they help me learn. Also, this book can help me, and other kids, with other subjects like history (because it tells you the history behind that State), geography and even a little science. Finally, it has funny jokes so it’s not boring, which I think is the most important thing about a book for kids. But the best part is that for me, it’s a book that I don’t read too fast or too slow, and I really like it. I really recommend this five-star book.
