Description:
Teach young readers about Louisiana history, wildlife, traditions and more through a guessing game involving playful rhymes and repetition.
From the alligators that live in the Louisiana lowlands and the blooming magnolia flower, to the fleur-de-lis that appears on that state flag, Deborah Ousley Kadair celebrates Louisiana state symbols in this colorful picture book. She uses the blue sky as a backdrop to recreate symbols in the shape of clouds and then invites children to guess the symbol by offering clues, in the traditional I Spy game format.
This guessing game features thorough facts about seven state symbols, including the brown pelican, which lends the state its nickname--the Pelican State. The repetition and rhyme make this a fun way for children to learn about Louisiana culture.
