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.

Book Description
The rich history of the Lone Star State is brought to life in hundreds of objects, artifacts, and artworks that you'd have to visit 50 museums to see live. Learn about how ranching and the discovery of oil changed the face of Texas, who Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin were, why cowboys wore high-heeled boots and large-brimmed hats, and much more.

A great book for advanced second graders and above. The facts are succint and interesting, which makes it perfect for the teacher to read before talking about the Lone Star State. The illustrations and the facts are both well done. Numerous discussions can be started from this well written book. Facts are on almost any aspect of the state including, the cities, geography, animals, plants, populations, type of government, the Alamo, etc.

My 10 old grandson requested a Book about World War II. He is very interested because his grandfather was in World War II. He asked for an Eyewitness book because he loves all of them. It was a very interesting book with lots of pictures to give him a sense of how things were in that War.
