5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Introduction to Texas History, April 26, 2001

This review is from: A Childs History of Texas (Revised) (Paperback)

This is an extremely well written introduction to Texas history, and one that your children will embrace from the "get-go" as they say in Texas. I must say that the most impressive feature of this book is the illustration. Scott Arbuckle has done unbelievable work here - the detail will allow your children to look at the book again and again with the same level of fascination as the first time they view it.

I highly recommend this book - it's a wonderful resource book for home schoolers as well.

This review is from: A Childs History of Texas (Revised Edition) (Hardcover)

I bought this book to supplement others in teaching my daughter Texas history in 4th grade (I homeschool). It was a great choice. The book briefly describes the Indians that lived in the different regions of the state, the explorers from different nations, settlers, battles for independence, republic, state, and industries that the state is known for (as well as other pertinent information). It was just what I was looking for.
