Missouri

Young readers can climb to the top of the Gateway Arch or join the festivities at Tom Sawyer Days in Hannibal. This state tour introduces Missouri through its best-known attractions and everyday highlights.

Each spread includes a map to help children place the places being described. The book also covers the state's official symbols and well-known residents. Small fact bubbles and captions point out features that make Missouri stand out from other states.

The back matter helps young researchers go further. It offers a table of contents, a list of sources for further reading, a phonetic glossary for tricky words, and an index.
