The United States of Sports takes kids on a first-of-its-kind journey across the U.S. with stops in every state in the union. Super cool maps with unique hand-illustrated icons show where all the great sites can be found, including arenas, stadiums, halls of fame, championship golf clubs, the greatest ski mountains, Olympic cities, and more. Each state's Greatest Moments and homegrown heroes are pro led, and we wouldn't forget to run down all the numbers! Championships, pro teams, famous events, and more-- spread by spread--it's the book to pore over this season.
