Review:

"Don't let the ABC idea fool you. This is a book for all ages. The large pages are brimming with realistic, detailed paintings and loaded with high-interest information from A to Z. History, state facts, important people, landmarks, and much more are presented with an informative text and fun-to-read poems. This is a exciting tribute to our nation and so beautifully created. A CD of songs by the author is also available."
