I have started the Hands of a Child lapbook for Blueberries for Sal with my dd5 and ds7 and I was wondering if there are any other good picture books about, or taking place, in Maine. I want to add a state of Maine unit as we progress through the lapbook.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I think you will like L is for Lobster. We've used this series extensively and haven't found a book we didn't like. There are free study guides for each book in the series here

McCloskey has another book called One Morning in Maine which is really cute. It is also about Sal and has a sweet story about losing a tooth.

Another one on Maine (not explicitly--but it is Sal and her family) by McCloskey is Time of Wonder. Its very poetic, all about the New England beach experience...
