About this listen
At the first annual "states party," Virginia and Idaho hatch a plan to swap spots so each can see another part of the country. Before the party is over, all the states decide to switch places.
In the beginning, every state is happy in its new location. But soon things start to go wrong. Florida, who switches spots with Minnesota, is freezing in the frosty northern climate, and Minnesota hasn't brought sunscreen and is getting an awful sunburn. Will the states ever unscramble themselves and return to their proper places?
Packed with madcap humor, this quirky story—starring all 50 states—is chock-full of introductory facts and silly antics that will make learning geography as much fun as taking a vacation.
This title has Common Core connections.

"This book is peppered with little asides that add color and spice to the main narration, and the two talented actors chime in with multiple voices each, doing a great job of bringing this complicated tale to life." (Cookie Magazine)
