[Rebecca Lloyd · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great book for kids on the state of Florida. It covers everything, from it's history to the land to the people who settled it and now live here, plus lots of other interesting and fun facts. Hope my students find it as intriguing and informative as I did. Now I want to travel to some new places in my state that were mentioned in the book! :)
