"Basher History: States and Capitals" is the follow-up title to the bestselling "Basher History: U.S. Presidents." This unique and comprehensive guide to 50 states (plus DC and the six territories) presents each state in the hip Basher fashion. Who better than Basher to give each state a face, voice, and personality and to give kids a fun, unusual but really information-packed gazetteer of their country.

Find out how Connecticut got to be called the Nutmeg State, why Louisiana, has a very different legal system, and what made landlocked Utah choose the seagull as its state bird
