Welcome to Maine (Welcome To)

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

With information about the state's animals, plants, regions, food, people, customs, and fun places to visit, this tribute to Maine 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 ("You'll find the sweetest moose in Maine at the Len Libby candy shop in Scarborough. Lenny is a life-size moose made of chocolate!") give just the right amount of information to kids from preschool on up.

And it makes a great "welcome!" gift for house guests!ȦSA GILLAND is the illustrator of the Welcome To series of children's books about the US states.
