Summary: "well written"
The book is written so that the simpler version of each letter can be read to a younger child while another more complicated text is on each page for an older child to read.

Summary: "Wonderful!"
I collect children's books, as well as literature about and from Kentucky. What a perfect addition to my library! I was mesmerized by the beautiful illustrations. I am waiting for a baby I know to get a little bigger as he still eats his board book pages, but when he can look at picture books like this one, I will get him his own copy!

Summary: "Excellent Book for Classrooms!"
This is a remarkable book that really helps with the Kentucky Unit required in the 4th grade. I am a 4th grade teacher and have used this book to illustrate and introduce concepts. Its best used a page at a time - not to be sat down and read to everyone. I cannot say enough about this book.
