Welcome to Florida (Welcome To)

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

With information about the state's animals, plants, regions, food, people, customs, and fun places to visit, this tribute to Florida 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 ("The smallest post office in the United States is a tiny building in the Everglades") give just the right amount of information to kids from preschool on up.
