Louisiana Alphabet invites the reader to enjoy a heaping helping of fun as it highlights some of the many features that give the state its richness, flavor, and charm. Using carefully-crafted rhymes, alliterations, and whimsical paper collage illustrations, writer/artist Laurie Parker has created a book that is a treasure for children and adults alike. The lyrical verses, such as this one for the letter P, will prompt you to read aloud:
P's for Brown PELICAN—it's our state bird,
And P is for PONTCHARTRAIN.
What a fun word
P is for PARISH—a county of sorts,
And PO BOYS and PRALINES and PIROGUES and PORTS
Over 350 Louisiana town names are included in the ABC theme!
