4.8

Those silly spot-switching states are back at it, this time with a talent show! This book is, like its predecessor, clever and oh-so-silly. It's fun for younger elementary school aged kids to imagine states switching places and identify their own state in the mix, and it's fun for older kids and even adults to notice all the funny little references sprinkled throughout.
