S is for Show Me ~ A Missouri Alphabet

By: Judy Young, Illustrated by: Ross B Young, 34 pp

This is Judy Young's and Ross B Young's first children's book together. They are a local married couple here in Springfield! I have known Judy for years and it is an honor to announce that she was my daughter's teacher at Willard South Elementary years ago. She is an awesome teacher as well as a great writer.

S is for Show Me ~ A Missouri Alphabet is an A to Z look at landmarks and information around Missouri. There is information regarding the St. Louis Arch, Missouri's state bird and state tree, and so much more. This is a picture book and an older kids' book. You can read information in the margins and within the pictures.

The art work is amazing too! Ross has created the St. Louis Arch, images of the Civil War, waterways, birds, trees, musical festivities, buildings, grizzly bears, and much much more!
