Few other states in our union have the magnificent topography of the Centennial State. This unique Colorado landscape is beautifully represented in the illustrations of Helle Urban, as the rhyming verse and expository text of Louise Whitney defines those images and expands our understanding of the Rockies, Blue spruces, Springs, and Yucca plants that paint this land. An excellent addition to our state alphabet book series, C is for Centennial entertains as it educates and its multi-tiered format makes it accessible for readers of all ages and at all elevations.

Last year when the book C is for Centennial: A Colorado Alphabet was published, I was thrilled to bring it to Colorado?s children. Thanks to the author was published, I was thrilled to bring it to Colorado?s children. Thanks to the author Louise Doak Whitney and illustrator Helle Urban, I now have an incredible depiction of Colorado?s beauty to present to our schools. Through the pages of this book our school children have been able to celebrate Colorado, its history and splendor."
