This delightful book will definitely appeal to young children learning their letters, but perhaps even moreso to people of all ages.
Lobster, of course, indicates Maine and so the author takes us through the entire alphabet with animals, places, or ideas associated with that state. On each page is a simple rhyme concerning the word starts with that letter. On the side of the page is more information, perhaps scientific or historical. I learned several things I did not know. The illustrations are not only beautiful, but technically accurate as well. One must really see this book to appreciate it.
Interestingly, at no time does it seem that the author had to reach to come up with a word for any given letter. Quick: what would you think of for the Letter U? Why the University of Maine, naturally -
The University of Maine starts with U Here, students called "Black Bears" dress in blue. A University is a place where big kids go to learn about everything they should know.
This concept could easily be used as a family game while vacationing. It almost makes me wish my children were younger and still traveled with us.
I heartily recommend this book and as a teacher I would like to see something just like it for each state in the Union.

We bought this book for our trip to Maine The whole family found interesting facts and wonderful pictures. There is text geared to mature people - like even some adults - and, of course, the simple alphabet for the tots. We learned things about Maine we never knew and we've been going there for more than decade. Heck - our relatives who LIVE there grabbed the book. After all - Maine is WAY more than just lobsters.
I'd recommend this children's book to any family interested in learning more about the great State of Maine. We plan on buying others in this series.
