"M is for Mayflower" is a wonderful addition to the state alphabet series from Sleeping Bear Press, as Raven's sparkling verse and illuminating expository text are matched perfectly with Jeannie Brett's bright illustrations. This pictorial celebrates the treasures of the Bay State, and educates as it entertains elementary-aged New Englanders. Older readers will appreciate the guided tour through Massachusett's history, and will learn more about their unique home. Where else could you find John F. Kennedy, Emily Dickinson, and Walden's Henry David Thoreau sharing the spotlight with Roxbury Puddingstones and the Quabbin Rservoir? Only in "M is for Mayflower."

This review is from: M Is For Mayflower: A Massachusetts Alphabet (Discover America State By State. Alphabet Series) (Hardcover)
I purchased 'M is for Mayflower' and 'C is for Centennial' for my niece. After reviewing the books, I found that they have several different levels of learning within the illustrations and text that will make these books readable for years to come for her. She seems to like them, and is attracted by the colorful illustrations. Because I live in MA and she lives in CO, she is eager to learn about the place where her auntie is. These books are good, fun learning tools that will help prepare a child for elementary social studies classes.

This review is from: M Is For Mayflower: A Massachusetts Alphabet (Discover America State By State. Alphabet Series) (Hardcover)
I love this series of books!! The short text is great for my young daughter and I learn new things from the extended text in the columns. Unfortunately, M is for Mayflower is one of my least favorite books in the series. It is informational like the others but the flow of the wording is not as good as other editions.
