What are people saying about the book?

"I bought this book for my 10-year-old
daughter and she loves it. She started reading it and doing the activities as
soon as we received it. She even insisted on taking it with her when we went on
a trip to Texas this summer! She likes to quiz us on the Michigan facts in the
book to see what we know and takes special pride in the knowledge."

"We bought this book to use as
part of our homeschooling unit on our homestate of Michigan.
I have looked through several other books for kids about Michigan and
I must say how impressed I am with this one. My 8-year-old daughter, 12-year-old son and
14-year-old son all really like it. The actual color photos are great as some books just use
illustrations."

"My son and I really enjoyed reading the Curious Kids' Activity
Guide to Michigan. I especially liked the way it was interdisciplinary,
including some science, social studies, and math.
