Gr 3–6—Everything is bigger in Texas, and this book does its best to make the eventful happenings of the Lone Star state fun and accessible. Beginning before Texas was even a state, some 500 years ago with the Spanish missions, and continuing up to the 20th-century space age and oil boom, Gibson makes the material relatable and approachable, while teachers will appreciate the activities.
VERDICT While this book is no replacement for a textbook, it will become an invaluable tool for those teaching or learning about Texas history.
