Customer Reviews

very pleased

My son was born in WV, so this will be a good read for Grandmother for her grandson!

Great WV book

It is a good book with great illustrations. Can be for younger children or older children (captions on the sides of each page offer more detail for older children). I love books about West Virginia and love to share these with my son (age 2). My only complaint is I thought the rhyming was a bit cheesy and a bit stretched. I kept getting tongue tied because the rhymes did not flow well. But overall, a must have for any West Virginia child.

Unique, cute book

I purchased this book for my grandsons. We are from and proud of the mountain state and this book showcases West Virginia. The illustrations are beautiful too!
