"Oh my goodness, how I love this book! An absolute delight in every way. Beautiful illustrations, wonderful adventures, terrific facts. . . entertaining as well as informative. I can see many bucket lists being made after exploring these gorgeous pages. I will, no doubt, be buying this one for my nieces and nephews for holiday gifts."
"I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. The primary adventure for each state was well laid out and interesting. The illustrations for the book were really engaging. However, I found the text that was blended into the images hard to read."

"A colorful adventure book that give suggestions of outings you can do in each of the 50 states. Each state gets its own page and description of an activity. It also includes other fun facts for the activity or area. I was excited seeing many activities that I have done in my travels including visiting caves in Missouri, walking the boardwalk in Atlantic City, fall foliage in Vermont and beach activities on both coasts. But I wished for more or better information at times. In my own state of Utah it suggested hiking a slot canyon. I was surprised it didn't mention that Utah has five national parks with beautiful red rock hiking trails. Another downside is that many of the activities would be out of the price range for many of the readers. An appeal of this book is that many of the activities you can do in your own state, taking a nature walk, ice staking, biking etc. I can see purchasing this for the elementary school library where I work but I doubt I would purchase it for my personal library as it isn't a book I would read and reread. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for a temporary digital ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review."
"A very neat illustrated book to inspire young adventures and their parents to travel! Beautiful illustrations accompany a unique activity featured for each state. Some examples include: visiting an active volcano in Hawaii, exploring a shipwreck in North Carolina, and climbing up a frozen waterfall in Colorado. Descriptions for each activity/state are brief and give background to the activity and local area. My only complaint is that I wish this gave more background to the many wonders/sights in each US state. This book features bucket list types of adventures, some more physically challenging than others. This would be a wonderful starting point to decide on a vacation destination or simply pore over in fascination! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC."
"The author of this children’s book beguilingly invites her readers to come and have some adventures. Starting with letter “A,” readers are invited to climb a giant boulder in Alabama, to walk on a glacier in Alaska, to horseback ride in Arizona and to kayak in Arkansas. From there it goes on to all of the states. I found this to be an interesting and appealing title. Readers, whether or adults or children, will learn a lot as they enjoy both the text and illustrations in this book. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own."
