Here's the new way, the delightful way, to learn geography.

The picture maps—there is one for each State, Hawaii and Alaska—show by pictures all those things that are usually so confusing to the young mind—leading products, capitals, chief cities, rivers, bays, boundaries. The child will learn these visually while he is looking at the pictures.

The text, in keeping with the maps, is told in a lively way to hold the interest of young readers. Bits of Indian lore give individuality to each State, and at the same time they keep the small reader's attention.

It is not a text-book. It is a picture-book for the child to enjoy at home. (Of course, schools will like it, too. And libraries will welcome it as something new and worthwhile for their youngsters.)

With 50 full-page picture maps, and endpaper and jacket in full color, it makes an attractive gift-book for children from eight to thirteen.
