Book Overview

"Bluebonnet the armadillo takes children on another adventure--this time to the Texas State Capitol. There is a great deal of history, trivia, and fun while traveling with this little armadillo through the capitol building. Especially good regional title." --Parent Council

After singing the Texas state song, Bluebonnet admires the Goddess of Liberty statue on top of the state capitol dome. Filled with pride, she wishes that she could climb to the top to see the statue up close. To her amazement, someone tells Bluebonnet that he has been to the top, more than three hundred feet above the ground

The voice that seems to come from nowhere belongs to Mac, a mockingbird, which happens to be the state bird of Texas. Mac offers to give Bluebonnet a tour of the Texas state capitol building.

While inside, they discover that a group of schoolchildren are meeting with the governor in order to decide on the state mammal. Some of the children want the state mammal to be the armadillo, while others want it to be the Longhorn. Which one will it be?

Once again outside, the pair meet Bevo, a Longhorn interested in the outcome of the children's decision. Bevo is a friend of Mac's, and Bluebonnet makes two new friends. That, after all, is more important than what the state mammal of Texas will be. Isn't it?

Really cute way to introduce kids to Texas' symbols.

I checked this book out at the public library during a "Texas" unit in my first grade classroom. The book really enhanced our study of Texas symbols such as the state seal, the state tree, the state bird, the state flower, the flag, the capitol, etc. A great book for Texas children - natives or "transplants"! Thanks to you Mary Brooke Casad!
