Discover the weird and wonderful side of America with "Only in America: The Weird and Wonderful 50 States" (Volume 12) book. Dive into a state-by-state compendium of the most peculiar laws, quirks, one-offs, and unusual records that can only be found in the US of A. With a bold graphic art style that evokes vintage Americana, this book is packed with fascinating facts and hilarious anecdotes that will keep you entertained from cover to cover.
Explore the strangest claims to fame and the most bizarre place names in every state. From the city of Dinosaur to the Pizza Museum, you'll be amazed by the variety of oddities that exist within our borders. Did you know there's a place where it's illegal to feed a pig without a permit? Or that there's a "carhenge" made entirely out of cars? These are just a taste of the marvels you'll uncover in this extraordinary book.
Not only will you learn about the longest gum wrapper chain (over 20 miles!) and the state with the highest ratio of cows to humans, but you'll also discover the origin of shoo-fly pie - a molasses cake baked in a pie crust - and the world's largest (fake) bug, a 58-foot blue termite. Plus, you'll gain insights into the unique language quirks of different regions. Where else can "dinner" mean lunch and "supper" mean dinner?
Immerse yourself in the captivating illustrations by the talented Alan Berry-Rhys, whose bold and vibrant art style truly brings the essence of vintage Americana to life. This book is arranged state by state, making it easy to find fascinating facts about each location. Whether you're a young explorer or a curious adult, you'll be amazed by the fun activities, maps, and infographics that accompany the informative text.
