I thought my mind would change about the Scrambled States books, but nope, I still don't like these books. (

amazing way to get reading into the social studies classroom, super fun dialogue between states. (

"I'm not feeling happy at all!" says Kansas. Kansas wants to mix it up, and all the states wind up switching places - but then longing to return home.

Moving is fun for everyone, even these states that want a little change. They all decided to get scrambled and move around on their map. The middle states got very bored and wanted to try new things and meet new states. It teaches a wonderful message throughout the plot that it is okay to try new things and sometimes they won't work out the way you wanted them to. By the end, all the states wanted to go home to their historic homes. (

The states end up moving but quickly miss their homes. The students must help the states get back to where they belong. (
