Gotta Love Texas

Very entertaining but educational too, this book has already become my 8 year old daughter's favorite bedtime story. I'm also sending this story to some Texas friends currently living in other states, so that anytime they get homesick, they can pick up this book and get a little dose of home!

Precious!

This picture-book about how the mockingbird became the official State Bird of Texas is an original and well told tale. Although the story is fiction, there are lots of educational facts about The Lone Star State; its geography, its birds and its uniqueness! Our students truly enjoyed this story of how Molly Mockingbird finds her own true voice and song just in time for the talent competition of the Texas State Bird Pageant ... other favorite characters included Gabby Green Jay, Owlma Owl, Bonita Blackbird, Carley Cardinal, Guadeloupe Gull & Dovie Crockett! Learn about Texas birds in a fun way and don't miss this exceptional addition to really good Texas Children's Books ... apparently the author and illustrator are also working on other State Bird Books, these will be wonderful to collect, especially if you are an Elementary School Librarian like I am!

When Molly Mockingbird enters the Texas State Bird Pageant the other birds call her a "copy-bird" because she only mimics their songs. But thanks to her best friend Gabby Green Jay, Molly discovers her "own true voice" and finds the courage to, at last, sing her own original song! Proud Texans, natives and transplants alike, hold on to your tail feathers and get ready for the Texas State Bird Pageant! It's a bird bonanza, extravaganza. Find out how the Mockingbird, Molly Mockingbird that is, became the official state bird of Texas.
