My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Fifo is a great children’s book that teaches about all 50 states. Each state has two pages, the first gives information about the state such as its flower, tree, and bird and when it became a state, all told in rhyme. The second page is a colorful illustration by Jesse B. Orlet that shows even more information about that state.

This is a wonderful learning tool for children to learn about the states. It’s fun and informative at the same time.

 

Excerpt (my state)

Across the midwest
lies the 34th state,
it is called Kansas
and I hear it’s just great.
Topeka is the capital
and there are many things to see,
like the beautiful Sunflower
and the Cottonwood tree.
The bird, the Western Meadowlark,
lives in Kansas too.
It’s a wonderful place to visit,
I’d like to go there, wouldn’t you?
