L Is for Lone Star: A
Texas Alphabet by Carol Crane Reading level: Ages 4-8 Board book: 40 pages Publisher: Sleeping Bear Press; 1 edition (September 19, 2001) Language: English ISBN: 1585360198 Product Dimensions: 9.3 x 11.4 x 0.4 inches This is a genuine Texas Alphabet book. You will find things that are specifically Texan with the historical background. My favorite is “D is for Dr. Pepper because it is a “Texas Thang.” Another one of my favorite letters is “V for Valley and Vegetables,” because we often forget this valuable part of Texas when we go on and on about all the cowboy stuff. |
