This book went through the alphabet and with each letter gave a characteristic of California. With each letter and characteristic also came a short description of the characteristic. This is a good informational book because it teaches about California and the alphabet. PRIMARY, INTERMEDIATE. Illustrations: Printed mixed media

Informational
Review: This book goes through the alphabet using names, places, and things that are famous to California.
Critique: It is a good informational text because it allows children, from California specifically, to connect with the different letters of the alphabet in new ways. It is also good because if someone from outside of California read it, they would learn more about the state of California.

using the alphabet, it discusses different artists, and different styles they use. also how they are able to make painting look so realistic, who some artists are, and what art looks like in different places.

Each letter of the alphabet can be used to describe the first letter of a specific event, place, or person in the State of California
GENRE: Informational
USE: Fun facts about the state of California
the importance of each historical event, person or place in California
