by Carolyn Adams (Author), Donald M. Yena (Illustrator)

Ever since the first Spanish soldiers and priests set foot on land that would be called Texas, a unique history has evolved. That history, as well as the many other dynamic aspects of Texas, is shared in "Stars Over Texas." Classroom-tested for comprehension and interest, the book is an excellent enrichment tool for students of Texas history, grades three through seven. Author Carolyn Adams covers the colonial days of early Texas, its revolutionary period in the struggle for independence from Mexico, and its stature as a nation and a state. In this carefully researched work, complete with fine illustrations, the author examines an array of subject areas, including the people, culture, natural resources, and symbols of the state. Assignment suggestions, vocabulary building, puzzles, and "Treasure Hunts" (to encourage additional research) are included.
