From Pie Town to Yum Yum

Did you know that the United States has hundreds and hundreds of towns with weird and wacky names?
 
Places like Quiggleville (PA) and Sopchoppy (FL) might make you laugh, while Bread Loaf (VT) and Chili Bar (CA) will probably make you hungry. And you can always count on Bug (KY) and Worms (NE) to make you Yell (TN) “Eek!” (AK).
 
This book explores the reasons behind some of these really wacky place names, and also teach you about the states in which they’re found. So if you’re thinking “Ono!” (CA) “Not another geography book!”  Then Fearnot (PA)! You’re in for a Surprise (NE)!
