Mr. Geo is a geography teacher who visits states in the series.
In this book he is in Colorado. Mr. Geo shows readers natural wonders, things
to see and do, history, and interesting facts. This one features native American
history, the great outdoor sports like rock climbing and hiking, and the art
museum with the big blue bear. The illustrations are stellar.
I am torn on this series. I sometimes have a run of younger
students interested in the states, but the big push is in fifth grade, making
this series way too easy to read. This is my personal opinion, but mustaches guys
kind of creep me out, wish the host of the series was different. If you
purchase the paperback versions, you can buy the whole series on the cheap, and
maybe you can start a run of younger readers interested in the States.
