Re: Reference books on the United States

My elementary school has the reasonably current Land of Enchantment series
(gosh - I think that's correct - I always find myself writing from home).
It's a series from Childrens Press.We find it to be
very good. I have also purchased an "easier reading" series from Raintree
(again - I hope that's correct...). The Raintree series is not
as thorough but serves those students with difficulties.
