Beginning with New England, the part of America that first sees the morning sun, we zip cross-country with young Trav's lively narration in this great introduction to the geography of the United States. This is a big country to cover in less than half an hour, but this video makes a valiant attempt, combining Emmy-award winning footage with relevant narration on the subjects of economics, climate, wildlife, culture, and "Americana." The quick editing and variety of images keep attention from wandering too much, and fun graphics and sound effects keep the tone lighthearted and fun. Students will experience the incredible variety of the American landscape, and see the diversity of her people. Recommended. Aud: E, I, P. (E. Gieschen)
