National Geographic Kids United States Atlas

National Geographic Kids United States Atlas
by National Geographic Kids (Author)

Booktalk: Watch today’s eclipse online with NASA and follow it across the nation with this atlas filled with facts for young readers.

Snippet: Like a giant patchwork quilt, the United States is made up of 50 states, each uniquely different but together making a national fabric held together by a Constitution and a federal government. State boundaries, outlined in various colors on the map, set apart internal political units within the country. (See inside the book.)

FYI: NASA invites eclipse viewers around the country to participate in a nationwide science experiment by collecting cloud and air temperature data and reporting it via their phones.

Learn how you can participate in a NASA experiment.

The Land of Reverse: Where Sleep is Just a Matter of Letting Yourself Go…
by Dave Manousos (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Sam is wound up too tight to fall asleep. Even counting sheep doesn’t help. Pretending to fall asleep instead, Sam falls into a backwards land where everything is flip-flop, opposite and reverse–and discovers a relaxation technique to fall asleep more easily.

Snippet: He stopped traffic on sidewalks to get to the street.

See the book trailer.
