书籍简介

探索这个各州的奇怪法律、怪癖、奇闻异事和不寻常记录的汇编，这些记录只能在美国这个奇妙的古怪国家找到。

只有在美国才会探索每个州奇怪的成名之处和不寻常的地名。参观恐龙城，顺便参观披萨博物馆，了解在没有许可证的情况下喂猪是违法的地方，并参观世界上为一的“汽车阵”（没错，就是用汽车重建的巨石阵）。除了许多其他奇迹之外，您还可以发现：

*长的口香糖包装链（超过 20 英里！）

哪个州的牛与人的比例是全国*高的

苍蝇派的起源，这是一种在派皮中烘烤的糖蜜蛋糕

世界上*大的（假）虫子，一只 58 英尺长的蓝白蚁

“dinner” 表示午餐，“supper” 表示晚餐

由才华横溢的 Alan Berry-Rhys 绘制插图，采用大胆的图形艺术风格，唤起人们对美国复古风情的回忆，本书按州排列，提供每个州的关键事实，并以另类而有趣的视角展示真正只存在于美国的古怪现象。

50 个州系列图书面向年轻探险家，通过关于人民、历史和自然环境的关键事实和有趣活动来赞美美国和更广阔的世界，这些因素使每个地方都不一样。精美的插图、地图和信息图表使这些地方栩栩如生。

Explore this state-by-state compendium of weird laws, quirks, one-offs, and unusual records only to be found in the wonderfully wacky US of A.

Only in America explores the strangest claims to fame and the most unusual place names every state has to offer. Visit the city of Dinosaur, drop by the Pizza Museum, find out where it is illegal to feed a pig without a permit, and check out the world’s only “carhenge” (that’s right, Stonehenge reconstructed using cars). Among many other marvels, discover:

The longest gum wrapper chain (over 20 miles!)

Which state has the highest ratio of cows to humans in the country

The origin of shoo-fly pie, a molasses cake baked in a pie crust

The world’s largest (fake) bug, a 58-foot blue termite

Where “dinner” means lunch and “supper” means dinner

Illustrated by the brilliant Alan Berry-Rhys in a bold graphic art style that evokes vintage Americana, the book is arranged state by state, giving key facts about each and presenting an alternative and hilarious look at quirky phenomena that are truly only in America.

The 50 States series of books for young explorers celebrates the USA and the wider world with key facts and fun activities about the people, history, and natural environments that make each location within them uniquely wonderful. Beautiful illustrations, maps, and infographics bring the places to colorful life.
