Children’s book author E. Andrew Martonyi’s affinity for travel, his constant search for new things to see, and his granddaughter’s fascination with his trips inspired him to study the U.S. map from a new angle.  What he discovered and developed he now shares with all children to help them learn the states.

E. Andrew Martonyi is the author of 'The Little Man In the Map: With Clues to Remember All 50 States' and 'The Little Man In the Map Teaches the State Capitals!'
These children's geography books are designed to show families and educators that learning can and should be fun.

'The Little Man In the Map: With Clues to Remember All 50 States' features Mr. Mim, who takes the reader on a trip through the states. The book uses mnemonics and rhyming lessons to help readers of many ages easily learn the name, shape, and location of each of the U.S. states.

Andrew Martonyi's second book, 'The Little Man In the Map Teaches the State Capitals!' helps readers quickly and effectively learn and remember the capital city of each state.
