Reading a Map

Emma Huddleston lives in the Twin Cities with her husband. She enjoys writing children's books, but she likes reading novels even more. When she is not writing or reading, she likes to stay active by running and swing dancing. She thinks America's landmarks are fascinating and wants to visit them all!

"The books are clearly intended for educational use, with a page of reading comprehension questions in the back matter, which also contains a practical application of the skill (under the heading “Try It Out!”) that readers can attempt. Although the books feel a little schoolish, young readers will likely enjoy feeling capable as they learn about and master these basic life skills." —Booklist
