FANDEX Family Field Guides: 50 States
A quick glance at this field guide to the states is all it will take to capture young
readers. Each paddle of the fan presents the facts for a particular state, with the shape
of the state outlined at the top of the fan. This is an excellent way to reinforce state
facts for the social studies classroom, and students developing social studies projects
will find this a good place to begin. The guide is small enough for elementary students to
handle, but not so small as to be awkward for adult using it for review or for
presentation. Every classroom teacher who undertakes a unit on the states will want to
have at least one of these guides in the classroom collection.

geographical origins, myths and religious beliefs, important people and historical events,
arts, festivals, and contemporary issues. The mysterious Anasazi. The democratic Iroquois.

FANDEX Family Field Guides: Birds
Fifty die-cut cards held together at the bottom depict the nation's most common bird
species. The major bird families are represented, in the order in which they usually
appear in more complete field guides. Each card is topped with a photo of the bird in
question, which also helps the reader appreciate the expected silhouette and details such
as bill shape. What is lost, however, is scale as each bird is presented at the same size.
The card includes a range map, field notes and a narrative paragraph highlighting
important features. Species from throughout the country are depicted, so there is no need
to purchase a different guide for different regions. This might be a fun way to teach kids
the names of common birds as it can be easily adapted into a flashcard game and the
tactile nature of the product will make it appealing to young naturalists.

FANDEX Family Field Guides: Dinosaurs
The non-negotiable Fandex, the one every kid will have to have--hand-held dinosaurs.
Marrying the latest in science and dazzling, custom-designed full-color art with the
irresistible die-cut Fandex format, Dinosaurs is the perfect addition to the series that
now has over 3.3 million copies in print. Written by Owl Puke author Jane Hammerslough, it
brings to budding paleontologists' fingertips a wealth of information about 46 fascinating
dinosaur species: period, name, size, diet, lifestyle, and habitat, along with lore and
the story behind the dinosaur's discovery.
Meet Stegosaurus and Stegoceras. Quetzalcoatlus, with a wingspan the size of a WWII
fighter plane's. The tanklike Edmontonia, and the predators, including T-Rex,
Giganotosaurus, and Allosaurus, who strode 8 feet with every step--try out-running that!
Plus, why there is no longer a Brontosaurus (because it turned out to be the same animal
as the Apatosaurus), how Jurassic Park got it right--and wrong (Dilophosaurus was a fierce
predator, but did not spit venom), and is the Plesiosaur alive and well--as the legendary
"Nessie" of Loch Ness? Includes information on key paleontologists,
fossil-finding methods, and a glossary of dinosaur words.

FANDEX Family Field Guides: First Ladies
Laura. Jackie. Dolley. Eleanor. Mamie. Nancy, Barbara, Hillary. Recognizable by one name
alone, these women-the First Ladies-are often just as accomplished as their spouses, and
sometimes more beloved. And just as they stand staunchly beside their husbands, FANDEX:
FIRST LADIES stands as the perfect companion to Presidents, the bestseller with 700,000
copies in print.
Written by Carolyn Vaughan, who showed her terrific talent for short, fascinating
biography in Fandex: Painters, First Ladies continues the unique, full-color die-cut
Fandex format with lively portraits of the 40 women who have served as America's version
of queen. Here's Dolley Madison, the first two-time First Lady-having served earlier as
hostess for widower Thomas Jefferson. Elizabeth Monroe, who, while traveling in France
with her husband, James, saved General Lafayette's wife from the guillotine. The
"secret president," Edith Galt Wilson, who allegedly ran the country during
Woodrow's prolonged and disabling illness. And more surprises: Pat Nixon adding 600
important paintings and antiques to the White House Collection of Americana; Rosalynn
Carter (and not Eleanor Roosevelt) stirring controversy by attending Cabinet meetings.
Evocative correspondents, gracious hostesses, behind-the-scenes speech writers,
inexhaustible volunteers-these are the great women who have done so much to shape our
nation.
