Excellent Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a delightful book full of illustrations which hone in on the uniqueness of Ohio. We have purchased this book several times to use as gifts. Most recently we sent a few copies to our daughter who is studying in Germany to give as gifts to her host family and some of the children of their friends there. They have been excited to receive it and our daughter has explained the illustrations and her home in Ohio.
Great for any Ohioan!

I bought this one because I am from Ohio, but don't live there anymore. My kids enjoy it and have seen several of the things illustrated in the book, so they really like it.
Another hit in this series... o-HI-o!

B Is For Buckeye is another book in the Discover America State By State series, and Marcia Schonberg does Ohio geography a favor in her selections of places, events, and people. Bruce Langton illustrates this book with artwork that mimics a photograph in style. There is even a "X is for Xenia" (pronounced "ZEEN-yah"), that southwestern city of hospitality, bike lanes, and... tornadoes! Written for reading level 3rd grade and above.
Essential for all Ohioans and Ohio lovers

This book is enjoyable on all levels, especially if you are a born and raised Ohioan like myself, and my family. My mother, "Grandma" enjoys reading it to all her granchildren; who live in various cities within Ohio. Each page is an Ohio History lesson and enjoyable prose wrapped into one. It is essential for everyone's personal library. Our family loves it!
A must-have for all Ohio elementary libraries

Beautiful illustrations with varied reading levels. Each letter depicts a different aspect of Ohio history. For example, "W is for Wright Brothers." With so little written about Ohio history, it is nice to find one not only done but done well.
