Synopsis:
K is for Keystone is a wonderful introduction to many of Pennsylvania's unique features for readers young and old.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, Gettysburg, Ben Franklin's inventions, the Liberty Bell -- there is so much to learn about Pennsylvania's history and geography. Learn about the legend of Betsy Ross, where the word Crayola(R) comes from, and how Pennsylvania came to be known as The Keystone State.
Lushly illustrated, the Discover America State by State series builds vocabulary skills while imparting fundamental information about history, landmarks, events, and people that make each state unique.
