"The Scrambled States of America" is a children's book by author and illustrator Laurie Keller. Her first book, it was released by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers in 1998, and tells the story about the 50 states of America becoming bored and organizing a party, where the states meet each other, hit it off, and decide to trade places.
"Publishers Weekly" gave the book a positive review, noting that " [i] t's hard to imagine a more engaging (or comical) way to learn the 50 states and their locations."
A tie-in card game of the same name was published in 2002 by Gamewright It is a two to four-player game geared toward players 8 years old and up.
The book is about all the states having a huge party. They all talk eat bring a famous dish from their state. Then in the middle of the party, Idaho and Virginia thought it would be cool for the states to switch places so they could see a new part of the country. All the states fall in love with that idea and before you know it they are in their new places. But after a couple of days, the states weren't as happy as they thought. They all got mad where they were. Except for Mississippi and Nevada. But after that the states knew it was time to go back in their normal places and they did that.
