Explore the Midwest

Written for early fluent readers, this title introduces the Midwest from several angles: where the region lies, how it developed, who lives there, its landforms, and its weather. Each spread pairs bright, full-color photographs with text written at a level meant to match young readers' growing skills. A map shows where the region sits within the country, and an infographic compares the leading industries of each state. Short sidebars add extra details, and a closing summary gathers the region's key figures in one place.

Children who want to keep exploring can use a search tool built for young learners, which directs them to websites suited to their age and checked for safety. The book also includes tips for teachers and parents on reading it together, along with a table of contents, a glossary of terms, and an index.

The book is part of Jump!'s Regions of the United States series, which covers the country's different regions one volume at a time.
