"I love you endlessly like the Cape Cod sands. I love you dramatically like the bare Badlands. I love you intensely like Niagara Falls. I love you immensely like the Grand Canyon's Walls." For those of you who love Animally, this is another winner for your shelves! 

Americanly, written by Lynn Parrish Sutton and illustrated by Melanie Hope Greenberg, celebrates love through the bounty of America's famous landmarks and landscapes. Sutton's sing-song rhyming couplets paired with Greenberg's whimsical illustrations create an instant winner that is both sweet and educational.

Redwoods, the Texas Big Bend, Denali, the Continental Divide, and the Outer Bank are just a handful of the locales introduced through this book that is bound to spark curiosity with your readers as they learn about impressive sites around the country. You'll find yourself reading it again and again... and then looking up the various locations in reference books and online to learn more about them! And, with a map at the back that links each illustration to its geographic location, it's easy to start asking questions and looking up answers.

It's that book that blends love of reading with love of country in a timeless fashion.

Book benefits:
  • Simple story introduces a variety of famous spots around the United States
  • Fun and whimsical illustrations will engage littlest readers
  • Text cleverly rhymes words like Divide and tide, Highway and flyway - geography and poetry combined!
  • Map at the back connects locations with geography
  • Hardover book and card stock pages will weather many readings
