Howard has written a fabulous book designed for children (or anyone in fact) to discover the 50 States of the U.S.A by using Riddle Rhymes. Personally have had a great response to this book and it's been a real pleasure to be the illustrator on such a project. Look out for Book 2 and 3 based upon Cities and Capitals :) ~ Sarah Madsen
