With its multitude of mountains and the highest elevation east of the Rockies, it's no wonder West Virginia's nickname is the "Mountain State." Abundant natural resources make it a leader in both industry and recreation, from glassmaking to rock climbing. Historic sites and sights include Harper's Ferry and the annual Native American Pow Wow, along with Lost World Caverns and White Sulphur Springs. Noteworthy West Virginians include Chuck Yeager and Olympian Mary Lou Retton.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great WV book,
By
This review is from: M is for Mountain State: A West Virginia Alphabet (Discover America State by State) (Hardcover)
It is a good book with great illustrations. Can be for younger children or older children (captions on the sides of each page offer more detail for older children). I love books about West Virginia and love to share these with my son (age 2). My only complaint is I thought the rhyming was a bit cheesy and a bit stretched. I kept getting tongue tied because the rhymes did not flow well. But overall, a must have for any West Virginia child.
