From School Library Journal Starred Review. Grade 2–5—Gather all of your chuckle-bellied trivia snatchers for a rollicking romp through the states. Talbott has created wisecrack-filled cartoons featuring birds in competition for the "United Tweets of America Pageant." Each avian contestant has one page to flaunt its stuff and introduce its state—unless you count the cardinal from Indiana that pecks through the back of his page to ruffle feathers in Illinois. The cartoons range from a scenic and graceful tree full of purple finches in a snowy village in Vermont to a manic pelican with a mouthful of loot in Louisiana. There's plenty to make children laugh: Annoyed by Delaware's Blue Hen Chicken on the facing page, Connecticut's American Robin sings, "Yankee Doodle went to town,/followed by a chicken,/if that bird won't shut his beak,/he's gonna get a lickin'." There's also plenty to amuse adults that may fly over children's heads: "Nevada produces the most gold of any state, but California already won the title of the Golden State, so Nevada settled for the silver. (The bronze went to Romania.)" Not to be confused with a reference book, this title does not provide the same type of information for each state. Each page dependably names the state bird and capital, shows a small shape map of the state, and gives its nickname. After that, it's a free-for-all. Ending with a fractured version of "America the Beautiful," it must be said, this book is a hoot.—Ellen Heath, Easton Area Public Library, Easton, PA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

From Booklist In this sly, comic, and irreverent book, loaded with hilarious puns and parodies about our 50 state birds, words and images deliver bits of history, folklore, and geography about each state. Young grade-schoolers probably won’t understand all the humor (the illustration of Iowa’s American goldfinch shows two of the birds dressed up like the folks in Grant Wood’s American Gothic; Washington state’s goldfinch is said to sound like “dot-com-dot-com-dot-com”). But many will enjoy the images of the Baltimore oriole in a baseball cap throwing a crab cake in Maryland, the American robin riding a Harley-Davidson in Wisconsin, and the mockingbird of Mississippi resembling Elvis with a mike. Talbott’s colored pencil and mixed-media illustrations ably combine the cartoon uproar with a sense of the individuality of the feathered creatures—as with the shy hermit thrush of Vermont singing musical notes that fill the sky. Clever, refreshing, and fun for individual reading and wonderful for classroom teachers. Grades 3-5. --Hazel Rochman
Review Hoots for UNITED TWEETS OF AMERICA!From USA Today:Part geography lesson, part introduction ornithology, United Tweets is all fun. It imagines a feathered pageant matching the 50 state birds, from Alabama's wood-pecking yellowhammer to Wyoming's western meadowlark, the most popular of all state birds. (It's also claimed by Oregon, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska and Kansas.) Hudson Talbott's whimsical drawings are mixed with facts: Hawaii's nee is the rarest state bird. The Rhode Island red, a purebed chicken, has its own monument, erected by a "grateful and well-fed public." And New Mexico's greater roadrunner has been clocked at more than 18 mph but does not say "beep-beep"."Gather all of your chuckle-bellied trivia snatchers for a rollicking romp through the states..[T]his book is a hoot!"--School Library Journal (Starred Review)"Deliciously outrageous"--Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review) "This rollicking roll call of state fast facts takes the form of a pageant of birds, each introducing their home state in ways that will delight trivia fans. Where U.S. geography is part of the elementary-school curriculum, this lighthearted look at the 50 states (plus the District of Columbia) will be welcome."--Kirkus Reviews

USEFUL FOR YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP By Lientje This is a fun book that is loaded with "trivia" about each state.It not only has the state birds, but capitol cities, state flowers, andother state animals when they exist. Some states have lists of famouspeople. The cheerful and often funny illustrations help identifywhat each state has within it, like seaside, or farm land or whatever.It could be useful in many ways for kids and their parents who likemaps, geography, travelling, etc.

Children will love to have this book read to them and older children can learn about our fifty state birds and other fun facts while enjoying the humor of Hudson Talbot. Acceptance, cooperation and diversity are showcased at the conclusion of The United Tweets of America Pageant. What a hoot of a book. Very highly recommend.

I was glad she loved it as much as I did. We have read the entire book several times and she loves to name the states and their bird. Such a fun informative book ! We had out- of- town company this weekend and once they picked it up they couldn't put it down. They are wanting a copy of their own !
