others of the series."

children live in different cities all over the world."
*Alphabet Street*
"A Texas Year and A New York Year feature ethnically and culturally
diverse characters and diverse experiences".
*DeeScribe Writing*
"I thought this book had some interesting things to share (like
what “Texas” means), and I learned a few new things about my home
state. This book would be good choice for kids would want to learn
more about special events that happen in parts of Texas."
*Kids Book Buzz*
"As the book progresses through each month we learn about important
days, school life, activities, the climate and the food Texans eat.
Each double page spread of the book covers a month and the simple
headings for each month are decorated to give a clue of the
importance of the month or the season it falls in.
The final double page spread of the book gives a wealth of
information about the State of Texas for a child. There is a simple
map and some information about the geography of the area."
*Creative Kids Tales*
"This is a fun book, with lively full-colour illustrations, packed
with information that will make the world seem small while at the
same time making the world look delightfully various. This series
would serve well in any classroom or family where there is an
interest in exploring differences in cultures. Recommended for six
to ten year olds."
*Reading Time*
"From the plains and canyons of the Panhandle to the beaches and
wetlands of the Gulf Coast, vibrant cities and friendly country
towns, this is the Texan childhood, showing just what makes the
state so special.”
*Parents in Touch*
"The Kids’ Year series is a wonderful collaboration with
illustrator Tina Snerling teaching children about how other
children live in different cities all over the world."
*Alphabet Street*
“It's amazing how much of a feel for each state I got from reading
these books. I especially love the part at the back which has facts
about each state ... I hope more states are explored, although
there are a lot so I doubt all could be covered. I'd love Alaska to
be the next book!“
