Synopsis
Surveys the geographic features, history, government, economy, people, and landmarks of New Hampshire, one of the six New England states.
Children's Literature
With a total population smaller than Chicago, New Hampshire sits among the New England states like a forested jewel. One of the Original Thirteen Colonies, New Hampshire continues to be a place to live that encompasses both rural and smaller-scale urban landscapes. Missing any large cities, New Hampshire is a state that even in this modern day and age possesses large tracts of untouched land. It is this singular New England state that Steve Otfinoski depicts in this volume of the illustrated "Celebrate the States" series. As with other books in this set, New Hampshire follows a format that includes chapters dealing with geography, history, people, government, economy, and landmarks. Throughout the text Otfinoski does a fine job of weaving together factual information with human interest. This combination, linked to the beautiful photography featured throughout the book, makes New Hampshire a valuable teaching/learning tool for younger readers engaged in the study of this region of the country Reviewer: Greg M.
