T is for Tar Heel is a North Carolina Alphabet book. For each letter, there is a short poem and column of information about that topic in North Carolina. For example, S is for sweet potato and North Carolina is the largest producer of sweet potatoes in the nation.
This book is great because it tells some of the rich history and culture of North Carolina. As residents of North Carolina, I believe that my students should know more about the state then what directly surrounds them. Also, North Carolina is part of the elementary education curriculum in 4th grade and this picture book makes some of that information more engaging. I could have the students create an alphabet book about their favorite subject/topic at the end of the year to recap some of the interesting things that they learned. In the beginning of the year, I could also create an alphabet book about myself to let my students get to know me better.
