Texas (Rookie Read-About Geography)
Gr 4-8--Comparable to the "America the Beautiful" series (Children's), these volumes are divided into chapters on geography, history, government and economy, people, achievements, landmarks, and state survey. The latter section is especially interesting, with information about symbols, celebrations, famous people, and tourist sites. Both books have large, clear, full-color photos or reproductions on almost every page. Each title also has four maps, the words and music to the state's song, and a typical recipe. In some cases, the predetermined organization is awkward. However, both books are well written and will be useful for reports.Denise E.
