Nifty Plates from the Fifty States: Take a Ride Across Our Great Nation*Learn About the States from Their License Plates! Paperback – October 1, 2007

This is a gift for my son's seventh birthday. I think he's going to LOVE the large, colorful images and state statistics on the reverse. The "book" is actually individual cards bound with a red cord, so the heavy-weight cards can be read or displayed individually. My only complaint is that our home state's plate is out of date by several years.

After having this in the car for a couple months, my kids have become obsessed with license plates! We are frequently ordered to drive around the block again because the kids didn't see the origin of an out of state plate on the first pass. Sure they have learned all sorts of facts about the United States, but now they want us to plan road trips to capture one's we haven't seen. Where does it end?In all seriousness, this is a really fun activity that reinforces geography and state facts. It makes long road trips or even trips across town more fun. I wish the cards had a binding or a ring to keep them together, but it's also fun for each child to have a few cards to read separately from others, so not that big of a gripe. Pull the trigger on this one if you're thinking about this purchase, you won't be disappointed.

Only shows one plate for each state (and most states have multiple options...) but my kids love the paper pad of states checklist and have used it on trips (you can cross of a state when you see a lp from that state).

My granddaughter wanted to start keeping track of all the plates she sees so this turned out to be the best thing I could find. It gives you a plate for each state as well as facts about the state. My granddaughter is 9 so I thought this might be a little young for her but it isn't at all. It is durable and will last for a while

I purchased this for my kids (age 8 & 9) at Christmas. Even if we are only going for an hour away trip my kids grab this. It is very well put together. When they find a new plate they read info sheet to us and ask us questions to see if we can guess some of the facts about that state. I would recommend.

My grandson loved the book but the pages ripped out very easily.

My grandson loves these! We look for license plates when on the highway or in parking lots. He likes to learn lots of facts about each state that are found on the back of each plate. Some of the plates have changed... This is not a 2012 edition... But it is still great.

I have owned Nifty Plates for about 5 years. We frequently travel with grandchildren and they all love to play. W are travelling in four cars for our next family vacation, so I purchased three more--one for each family. The kids were all thrilled and thankful.
