Synopses & Reviews
Introducing the newest title in the bestselling educational series that has over 20 million copies in print: Combining the curriculum-based subject matter of traditional Brain Quest with the take-it-anywhere fun attitude of Brain Quest for the Car, BRAIN QUEST AMERICA presents 850 questions and answers all about the U.S.A.
Meant for kids ages 9 and up, AMERICA inspires and informs about all aspects of American history, culture, milestones, ingenuity, and spirit. The two decks are broken down into six categories, including Famous Americans: What leader was "first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen"? and whom does this describe: She led so many slaves to freedom that her people called her "Moses." What was her real name? From Sea to Sea: Name the only state whose capital city is located on the Mississippi River. Turning Points: What war broke out after the U.S. battleship Maine blew up during a visit to Cuba? Words and Music: Can you name the most famous whale in American literature? Law of the Land: What do we call the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution? Plus a Here and There grab bag: Do even-numbered U.S. interstate highways run east-west or north-south?
With its smart and appealing historical collage cover, America is the perfect extra for schools and a natural for families, whether at home or on the road. As the Chicago Tribune writes: "There's a game out there that doesn't need batteries-it runs on brain power. It's called Brain Quest and it proves that being smart can also be fun."
