This book is fun because you learn about Arizona while reading about Jake and Betty’s adventures. As they look for Cliff, you learn different things about ArizonaState. For example, “Arizona produced two-thirds of America’s copper.” Kids will also like the colorful pictures and the jokes made by Jake and Betty. “A Journey with the Spider & Snake to Arizona” is a great book.
