Alabama Is That in Texas?
Author: Joseph Finch
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781496973870
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
This book explores with my six-year-old grandson Max the kinds of places he lives. When he asked whether Alabama was in Texas or whether Camarillo was a state, I knew he needed some help in sorting out the kinds of places he lived in. "Alabama--Is That in Texas?" introduces Max to these places. They include a house, a street, a zip code, city, county, state . . . right on up through a planet, star system, and galaxy. In the final analysis, he learns that he is a child of the Universe, like you and me, and that he has a lot of places to call home.
