Florida from Sea to Shining Sea [Library Binding]

Dennis B. Fradin (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-- While Fradin's easily readable style covers the same basic facts found in other books, he gives interesting tidbits in a ``Did You Know'' section, includes several new names in ``A Gallery of Famous Floridians,'' and incorporates current socio-economic issues facing the state today into the text. High-quality, full-color and black-and-white photographs are interspersed throughout, depicting a blend of people, history, and culture. Overall, this is a suitable pick for budding researchers. --Jana R. Fine, Clearwater Public Library System, FL
