Wonderful!

I collect children's books, as well as literature about and from Kentucky. What a perfect addition to my library! I was mesmerized by the beautiful illustrations. I am waiting for a baby I know to get a little bigger as he still eats his board book pages, but when he can look at picture books like this one, I will get him his own copy!

Excellent Book for Classrooms!

This is a remarkable book that really helps with the Kentucky Unit required in the 4th grade. I am a 4th grade teacher and have used this book to illustrate and introduce concepts. Its best used a page at a time - not to be sat down and read to everyone. I cannot say enough about this book.

What a find!

I am a library media specialist from Kentucky and I have been waiting for a book like this for a long time. The illustrations are beautiful and the text is very informative and fun to read. My students really enjoyed hearing selections from this book.
