Draw the USA / Kristin J. Draeger

Geography is essential to a child’s education. And basic to that study is a simple outline of states, countries and continents. In Draw the USA I have tried to give students an easy introduction to committing the map of the USA to memory. Through simple, step-by-step instructions, kids learn to draw each state as it connects to its neighbors and, with a little practice, will be able to draw the USA as a whole.

Education seeks to broaden a children's minds, to entice them to explore. Through books, and videos kids can virtually travel to faraway places; studying geography will augment those travels and their journey will be that much richer because they know where they are going.

By giving children a primer in the borders and locations of states, provinces and countries I hope to invite them further into the beautifully complicated world of geography.
