(4) K-3 Illustrated by Frané Lessac. Melmed features twenty-six Texas locales, symbols, and historic events, one for each letter of the alphabet (e.g., G for Galveston Island, O for oil wells, V for Viva El Paso!). A singsongy rhyme introduces each topic; paragraphs of related information are presented in tiny type. Lessac's naive-style illustrations are lively without overcrowding the pages.
