I received this book as a Christmas gift from a co-worker. I teach fourth grade and we study Indiana History, so this is an awesome and appropriate book. The wording Mrs. Reynolds uses, and the illustrations from Mr. Langton, hook the students in and keep them interested until the very end. The facts and information on the sidebar of each page is an excellent way to tie everything in together. I read it to my students immediately upon receiving it, and they have already made references to it just in the short time since I've had it. It is a perfect gift for any teacher (especially one who teaches fourth grade) or for any Hoosier. I would recommend this book to anyone!

We lived in Indiana for a year with our small children and we have tried to remind them of all the fun things we did and learned while we lived there. This book is adorable. It covers all the highlights of Indiana. My boys LOVE reading and remembering our year as temporary Hoosiers.

This was my first purchase of the books in this series from Sleeping Bear Press. I loved it so much, I started buying the books about the other 49 states. I think they are tremendous for kids -- and adults can learn a lot about each state also. At least, consider owning the one that is about your own state of residence! Now I own all 50 State Alphabet books and can't wait to share them with my grandkids. A great investment.

What a great coffee table book. It's got a great combination of high-quality photos and real, interesting information about the state of Indiana. Giving facts based on the letter of the alphabet is creative, and the overall layout of the book and its information is very high quality.

I loved this book as much as my 6 year old daughter. It has a very cute little Indiana history lesson while going through the alphabet. I know someone expecting a baby and I bought the book for her also. I think it is great for ages newborn and up.

I was very excited when I purchased this book. I thought it was a great idea to teach children about the state. However, I do not feel that the author spent anytime researching the state of Indiana. Also, there is not any racial diversity in this book. If one was to look at this book, they would think Indiana only has caucasion americans living in the state.
