5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for all Ohio elementary libraries, October 26, 2000

By	Christine Rabold (Lawrenceburg, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beautiful illustrations with varied reading levels. Each letter depicts a different aspect of Ohio history. For example, "W is for Wright Brothers." With so little written about Ohio history, it is nice to find one not only done but done well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for all Ohioans and Ohio lovers, December 19, 2000

By A Customer

This book is enjoyable on all levels, especially if you are a born and raised Ohioan like myself, and my family. My mother, "Grandma" enjoys reading it to all her granchildren; who live in various cities within Ohio. Each page is an Ohio History lesson and enjoyable prose wrapped into one. It is essential for everyone's personal library. Our family loves it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, April 28, 2009

By	Marsha Mallow - See all my reviews

This is a delightful book full of illustrations which hone in on the uniqueness of Ohio. We have purchased this book several times to use as gifts. Most recently we sent a few copies to our daughter who is studying in Germany to give as gifts to her host family and some of the children of their friends there. They have been excited to receive it and our daughter has explained the illustrations and her home in Ohio.
