Gr 1–3—A cast of five adorable children take readers on a Texas-size journey. McCartney and Snerling cover the many traditions and events Texans love to celebrate. The book goes month by month, highlighting Texas events, cuisine, customs, and weather. The facts given are not strictly state related; there are many national holidays recognized as well. The pictures are animated and bright, and the sentences are short and informative, perfect for young readers.
VERDICT Texas children will be sure to get a kick out of this resource, a great addition for most geography collections.
