Welcome to Arizona (Welcome To)

Welcome to Arizona! Whether they're locals or visitors, young readers will love this bright, cheerful, fact-filled picture book celebration of "The Grand Canyon State."

With information about the state's animals, plants, regions, food, people, customs, and fun places to visit, this tribute to Arizona is the perfect gift for vacationers and residents alike.

The warm, bright illustrations highlight the many delights to be found throughout the state, and the easy-yet-informative details ("Arizona's state mammal, the ringtailed cat, is not a cat! It is a member of the racoon family") give just the right amount of information to kids from preschool on up.

And it makes a great "welcome!" gift for house guests!ASA GILLAND is the illustrator of the "Welcome to" series of picture books about the US states.
