Book Synopsis
★★★★★ "Wanted our grandchildren to remember 'all things Oregon' as they move to Mississippi. This was a rare and well well-presented book on some of Oregon's treasures."
O is for Oregon, part of the "See-My-State" series, is a state-oriented ABC book for young children with couplets written by kids, for kids.
This book covers subjects important or significant to Oregonians and includes brilliant color photography by top photographers. Each vibrant page highlights a unique aspect of Oregon's natural beauty and lively culture with either a place, animal, plant or another evocative idea.
The book's eye-popping design and educational content will hold the child's interest through countless readings. In addition to the 26 letters of the alphabet is the "Who Knew?--Facts about the great state of Oregon" section which gives parents, teachers, and even kids a deeper understanding of the topic for each letter of this Oregon alphabet.
Review Quotes
O Is for Oregon is an alphabetical treat of poetry for little eyes, ears, and hands. This 30-page book has one letter of the alphabet on each page as well as an accompanying poem written by an elementary grade student. The poems are very simple rhymes that try to connect the letter of the alphabet with something from the state of Oregon. The last three pages give basic facts about all of the topics referred to in the poems. For instance, "Z is for Zoo" has a cute poem accompanying it on the page. In the back of the book, you will read that the Oregon Zoo is the home of the largest and oldest Asian elephant born in a zoo in North America. O Is for Oregon ends with a group picture of the students who participated in making the book. I thought that was a nice finishing touch. Overall, this is a fun book that can help children learn the alphabet and a little state history at the same time."
