Connecticut — Michael Burgan

An in-depth look at the third smallest state.

A True Book: My United States series allows readers to experience what makes each of the fifty state distinctive and exceptional. Readers will get to know each states' history, geography, wildlife and future outlook. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study.

As the third-smallest state in the country, Connecticut is not very big. However, it is packed with just about every kind of natural beauty you can imagine. Readers will tour the entire state as they find out what it is like to live there. They will also learn how Connecticut is governed, what role it has played in U.S. history, what kinds of traditions the state's people celebrate, and more.
