U.S.A. How to use this Kit: (from the book)
This double feature kit includes an authoritative text on the United States of America plus a beautiful and comprehensive wall map of the country. The map, nearly 3 feet by 4 feet, is designed to be completed by your youngster and hung on his bedroom or playroom wall.
Finishing the map is fun, instructive, and easy to do. There are almost 100 clearly labeled, colorful stamps to be pasted on the map in positions that are correspondingly marked. Each stamp will tell your youngster something about his country–its heritage of wildernesses which must now be protected, as well as the rich productivity of its land. He will learn of the wonders, natural and man made, which surround him: from the automobile factories of Detroit to the buffalo which still roam Yellowstone National Park; from the orchards of Michigan to the petroleum fields of Texas; from huge urban centers to sparsely populated deserts.
The treatment is regional, but for each state there is a chart. Besides discovering each state’s motto, flower, and bird, your child will also find out the different agricultural, mineral, and industrial resources of the land.
This is an admirable stay-at-home travel guide, the perfect com- bination of activity, learning, and fun. And it is a combination that the whole family may enjoy. The result is increased knowledge, an attractive informational map, and a valuable addition to your youngster’s personal library.
