Loved it!

All of the letters of the alphabet to describe the great state of California. The illustrations were beautiful. Also included is some very interesting history about the state. Wonderful, wonderful! Worth adding to your personal and/or school library.

New to the State of California?

Being recent transplants to California, my husband and I have been checking out all the nooks and crannies that make California unique. With the printing of this book, we are reminded there is so much more to see and to learn. From Alcatraz to Yosemite, there are adventures abounding. The illustrations for this book are beautiful, and invite you to be a part of goldmining or the California labs of Silicon Valley. Teachers would do well to introduce this book to their students, in and out of California. Parents would allow their children's horizons to be expanded, if only by introducing this book to them. This will be a favorite of mine for years to come.
