Great Utah book for kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Great Utah book for kids gives them lots of pictures and goes thru the whole alphabet giving examples from the state of Utah. Should buy all the state letter books like this!
Lots of Mormon references

This book was a great one about Utah. It did have several references to the Mormon Church that I was unaware of before I purchased it.
A is for Arches... the REAL Utah symbol!

What a nice book! Becky Hall maintains the standard in the Discover America State by State series with her descriptions of Utah history, geography, geology, and culture. Katherine Larson's illustrations are very detailed and nicely done. If you recognize a place or location (Hardware Ranch for me), you can't help notice the fine details she includes in her paintings. Nine species of wildlife occur in the illustrations. Brigham Young is mentioned 4 times. The Utah Jazz is mentioned once. Under "H is for Handcarts," Hall writes "The pioneers' success proved that using handcarts was an efficient and inexpensive way to move large numbers of people westward." Inexpensive, yes. Efficient... the journal entries describing the deaths and hardships lead to an alternative interpretation. Nevertheless, this is a very nice book to give to anyone who would like o learn more about Utah.
A is for Amazing!

What an inspiring book! How could any reader, young or old, not learn to love and appreciate Utah's natural glory with a companion like this book? It's beautifully written and with rich, playful illustrations. I wish I had a sixth star to give it!Phillip Hoose
