This review is from: Texas (Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)
It's like a museum in a book! All of the Eyewitness books are that way. I'd recommend any of them. Texas is a great addition to that collection. Works great for homeschooling too.

The latest title in the outstanding DK Publishing "Eyewitness Books" series, Texas is a fun and fact-filled book for young readers about the great American state of Texas. From Texas geography and climate, to its sometimes violent history, to what life as a cowboy was really like, and a great deal more, Texas combines extensive research, amiable narration, and a wealth of outstanding color photographs to teach young readers ages 8 and older all about the proud heritage the Lone Star State.
