I Spy in the Louisiana Sky

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. "Kadair's simple collage illustrations will appeal to the audience." —Book Links "Kadair offers up a story of wily humor that begs to be read." —Publishers Weekly
