Rhode Island

Visitors to Rhode Island can spin around on the Flying Horse Carousel or walk through the state capitol in Providence. This illustrated introduction invites young readers to explore the state's most notable sights and the features that set it apart from its neighbors.

Each spread includes a map to help place the places being discussed. Readers will also find the state's official symbols, profiles of well-known residents, and fact bubbles with short, interesting details. Captions point out distinctive aspects of the state along the way.

The back of the book offers a table of contents, a list of sources for further study, a pronunciation guide to tricky words, and an index, all meant to help kids dig deeper into the subject.
