Customer Reviews

Wow! Gowan knows her stuff!
As a former educator and current author, I really enjoyed this book. There is so much you can do with the 2 tiered writing style in teaching kids. This approach lets the book grow with your child. The pictures, by Katherine Larson, are filled with great details too. Sleeping Bear Press is doing a whole country's worth of these books and if they're as information packed as this one, they'll make great tools for learning.

Great book & great series
My wife and I are originally from Arizona (although I am currently serving in the military) & have purchased several copies of this book for our friends. The most recent purchase I made was for Iraqis with whom I served (since I kept explaining how similar the environments in Iraq and Arizona are (at least in the places where I've served/ lived in both of those locations)). We love the fact that the book includes a short, rhyming portion for young children, as well as a more descriptive entry for older readers. Great book & great series (we own copies of some of the other states in the series, as well)!

Wonderful Book!
This is a great book for any age. It is very informative and the illustrations are beautiful. We live in Arizona and is a great way to tach my daughter about her home state. Note: it is $10.99 at Costco.
