Towards a More Perfect Union Michael Bourgo

Towards a More Perfect Union is a light-hearted tour of the fifty states of our nation in rhymed verse. Blending humor, history, geographic details, famous citizens, local cuisine, and other details, Michael Bourgo creates individual portraits which illuminate the unique and special qualities of each state. There are 51 poems in the book (one for each state and one for the District of Columbia) sequenced in the order of admission to the Union. This is a book for families with older children (middle school and above) to enjoy together, and was specifically conceived to be read aloud.
