This book covers all your student needs or wants to know about awesome Arkansas!
The name Arkansas is derived from an Indian tribe the Sioux dubbed the "Akansa," or "people of the south wind."If you actually live in Arkansas, you may know many facts about the state, but there are a few you might not know even if you do.For example, during a flood in 1927, the mighty Mississippi "swelled to 60 miles (97 km) in some places."That is just one of the many WOW facts you can find in this book.Speaking of amazing facts, probably few know that Arkansas produces about half of all the rice grown in the United States.

In this bright, colorful book you can find everything from the topography to what may be on the menu in a restaurant.Anyone for fried green tomatoes?Chapters in this book are: 1) Land 2) First People3) Exploration and Settlement 4) Growth and Change 5) More Modern Times 6) People 7) Government 8) Economy 9) Travel Guide.There are numerous sidebars, maps, photographs, projects (writing, art, science, technology and math), a timeline, Fast Facts, a listing of annual events, a biographical dictionary, an index, a glossary and additional recommended resources.If that isn't enough for you, there are even the lyrics to the state song

This is a very comprehensive text on Arkansas for the young student and there is little doubtyou'd be able to find a better one.This Scholastic series is a plus for students wanting to complete state reports or simply to learn more about the states (to say nothing of just plain, old fun).Do you know why you wouldn't want to "stick an `Arkansas toothpick' in your mouth?"You'll just have to read this book to find out why not! ...
