Only in America!: The Weird and Wonderful 50 States

by Heather Alexander
Illustrated by Alan Berry Rhys

An Amazon Best Children’s Book of 2021

This oversized state-by-state compendium is overflowing with 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, see the longest gum wrapper chain (over 20 miles!), and check out the world’s only “carhenge” (that’s right, Stonehenge reconstructed using cars).

Illustrated 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.
