Description

Readers will be delighted to discover the many wonders of the Garden State, from her famous sons and daughters (inventor Thomas Edison and the Revolutionary War heroine Molly Pitcher) to her beautiful sights (the Highlands, the Pinelands, and New Jersey's famous shoreline), and her unique institutions (The Seeing Eye training institute for seeing eye dogs and Haddy, the largest complete dinosaur skeleton of its time, found in 1858). G is for Garden State explores the places, people, and landmarks that make New Jersey a fascinating place to live in and to visit again and again.

Summary: "Amazing book!"

I love this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the factoids are really cool. I have purchased about 30 of them so far and have given them away to every child whose birthday party my daughters have been invited. Next I will give away "A is for America" and then, after that has made the rounds, "P is for Passport". All the books in the series are really great. I've purchased other states as well, but "G is for Garden State" is especially close to my heart. 8-)

Summary: "Really nice book"

We liked this book so much, while we were living in New Jersey we gave it to many of our friends and their kids so they would know more about New Jersey - which is actually a very nice state that most people don't know very much about.
