Great book for a great state!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I'm a Texas girl born and bred and live in another state. You can take the girl out of Texas but you can't take Texas out of the girl. This is an awesome book for anyone who loves the Lone Star State. The illustrations are beautiful and it has a nice rhythm to words. I love that the author mentions less known facts/cities/places. It is the perfect gift for a Texan where ever they live.

Our children were given this book by my aunt, who has started a tradition of Texas-themed gifts, so that they will not forget their "heritage." I must admit that this book sat for quite a while during our most recent time of settling in here in the Middle East (we are humanitarian aid workers). When our oldest son asked for it to be read recently, I was expecting the typical one item/picture per letter alphabet book. I was pleasantly surprised with the engaging rhyming text and loved the list of towns for each letter (although my children did get tired of, "Oh, look that's where Aunt So-and-so" went to college," etc.).Bottom line: this is a truly delightful book which actually manages to cover what it means to be a Texan, from past to present. If you are a Texan, displaced or otherwise, I highly recommend purchasing this book, and I, personally, am placing several orders for gifts.
Interesting and Entertaining

Although I am not a native Texan, I have choose to live here. Texas Alphabet can be enjoyed by everyone who has a love for state trivia or the alphabet. Each letter is used to tell about things unique to Texas, and many of the cities (large and small) are included throughout the book. As a middle school teacher, I found this book to be a great way to get my students interested in Texas history and have fun at the same time! A must read for parents and teachers alike! (You don't have to be a TEXAN, ya'll ,to enjoy this book--the author is from Mississippi and wrote the entire book from research done via Internet!) This picture book could also be enjoyed on the elementary level when doing a unit on the 50 states. Enjoy!
