Texas (Fun Facts & Games) [Paperback]

Mary Dodson Wade (Author), Virginia Roeder (Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-8--Comparable to the "America the Beautiful" series (Children's), these volumes are divided into chapters on geography, history, government and economy, people, achievements, landmarks, and state survey. The latter section is especially interesting, with information about symbols, celebrations, famous people, and tourist sites. Both books have large, clear, full-color photos or reproductions on almost every page. Each title also has four maps, the words and music to the state's song, and a typical recipe. In some cases, the predetermined organization is awkward. However, both books are well written and will be useful for reports.

This review is from: Texas (Rookie Read-About Geography) (Paperback)

We are a homeschooling family and are currently doing a study of the states. I am always happy to be able to find books that my struggling 3rd grade son is able to read and enjoy. I believe the books in this series have accomplished that. We have enjoyed the books in this series very much.

Most of the states I've been able to request through our library system. This particular one was not available but since my husband is from Texas I wanted to make this one available to our son. So I purchased this one.

Through our local library and a few other purchases my son has read many of the books in this series. Not just in Geography but many others in the Rookie Read About Science/Health/Math/Holidays books that are also available.

I think even if the child is not a struggling reader these are still good, informative and interesting books.
