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.
