“This is a clever, fun book. I have lived near San Antonio for eleven years, but I found lots of interesting items that I didn't know about. This would appeal to kids, but also to anyone who likes a colorful book to read quickly. It will make a perfect gift for anyone who wants to learn some cool facts about Texas. I may shop for more that feature other states.”

“This is really a book for all ages! The author did an incredible job rounding up common and obscure Texas hallmarks, and the illustrations are whimsical and fun for all. My husband is a Canary Islander descendant, so it was super fun to see that tidbit of state and family history included, and a great example of the very detailed overview this book provides.”
