★★★★★ "Wonderful book with gorgeous pictures and great facts!"
O is for Oklahoma combines dazzling photos with fun and informative couplets which describe the pictures and offer clear picture-word associations. Intriguing facts will add to the non-fiction learning experience.
This book covers subjects important or significant to Oklahomans and includes brilliant color photography by top photographers. Each vibrant page highlights a unique aspect of Oklahoma's beauty and lively culture with either a place, animal, plant or another evocative idea.
The book’s eye-popping design and educational content will hold the child’s interest through countless readings. In addition to the 26 letters of the alphabet is the “Who Knew?—Facts about the great state of Oklahoma” section which gives parents, teachers, and even kids a deeper understanding of the topic for each letter of this Oklahoma alphabet.
"O Is for Oregon is an alphabetical treat of poetry for little eyes, ears, and hands.This 30-page book has one letter of the alphabet on each page as well as an accompanying poem written by an elementary grade student. The poems are very simple rhymes that try to connect the letter of the alphabet with something from the state of Oregon.The last three pages of the book give basic facts about all of the topics referred to in the poems. For instance, "Z is for Zoo" has a cute poem accompanying it on the page. In the back of the book, you will read that the Oregon Zoo is the home of the largest and oldest Asian elephant born in a zoo in North America.O Is for Oregon ends with a group picture of the students who participated in making the book. I thought that was a nice finishing touch. Overall, this is a fun book that can help children learn the alphabet and a little state history at the same time."
