Alphabet book has somewhat awkwardly rhymed text, but some good supplemental information in the sidebars on each page. Some choices are inevitable: "D is for Dairy," "H is for Horicon Marsh," at 32000 acres one of the largest in the U.S. Some choices are surprisingly informative, at least to me: "A is for American Water Spaniel," apparently the only dog native to Wisconsin; "K is for Kindergarten," since the first kindergarten was started in Watertown. But some choices are befuddling: Aldo Leopo...more
A really nifty way to explore the alphabet and Wisconsin history! Each letter of the alphabet represents one of Wisconsin’s state symbols, people, products or fun places to visit, giving readers a fun look at our great state!

I also did not know that the typewriter was invented in Wisconsin. For those wanting more information on the topics mentioned in the sto...more

When Kathy-jo Wargin was a young girl, each night after dinner, her mother let her choose between washing the dishes or writing a poem. Before long, she decided that if she grew up to be a writer, she wouldn't have to do any dishes. She has since learned that even though she has published more than twenty award-winning books for children, she still has to wash the dishes. Kathy-jo lives in Minneso...more
