Product Description
Did you know that Ohio is called "The Mother of Presidents" for the eight United States Presidents born there? Or, that 23 astronauts -- the most of any state -- are from Ohio? These and more amazing facts are revealed in B is for Buckeye, a must-have for every Ohioan (from Ulysses S. Grant to John Glenn)! Brilliant illustrations by Bruce Langton and fascinating text by Marcia Schonberg bring Ohio history and information to life in the second of Sleeping Bear Press' state alphabet books.

Great for any Ohioan! December 15, 2007
I bought this one because I am from Ohio, but don't live there anymore. My kids enjoy it and have seen several of the things illustrated in the book, so they really like it.
Another hit in this series... o-HI-o! August 5, 2006

B Is For Buckeye is another book in the Discover America State By State series, and Marcia Schonberg does Ohio geography a favor in her selections of places, events, and people. Bruce Langton illustrates this book with artwork that mimics a photograph in style.
There is even a "X is for Xenia" (pronounced "ZEEN-yah"), that southwestern city of hospitality, bike lanes, and... tornadoes!
Written for reading level 3rd grade and above.
Essential for all Ohioans and Ohio lovers December 19, 2000

This book is enjoyable on all levels, especially if you are a born and raised Ohioan like myself, and my family. My mother, "Grandma" enjoys reading it to all her granchildren; who live in various cities within Ohio. Each page is an Ohio History lesson and enjoyable prose wrapped into one. It is essential for everyone's personal library. Our family loves it!
A must-have for all Ohio elementary libraries October 27, 2000

Beautiful illustrations with varied reading levels. Each letter depicts a different aspect of Ohio history. For example, "W is for Wright Brothers." With so little written about Ohio history, it is nice to find one not only done but done well.
