Then he'll visit northern New Jersey where he can catch a ferry to Ellis Island to tour the Immigration Museum or Statue of Liberty. He'll also sail along the Hudson River past the beautiful Palisades and the Manhattan skyline. Then it's onward to places where George Washington fought and Thomas Edison created inventions that changed the world. Join Mr. Geo on his travels around New Jersey. Together, you will discover what makes this a state to celebrate. Includes maps and learning activities. Colorful, you-are-there illustrations and easy-to-read text are great for beginning and newly independent readers!
