10.  Brief summary and how you would use the book, with students.

                          This is a book about Tennessee. My mother-in-law gave me this book to read. I love this book. This book is all about Tennessee. It goes through all the letters in the alphbet. This is the Tennessee alphbet.  A is for Applalachian Moutains eising tall and grand. They're home to bear and eagle and where tulip poplars stand. L is for Lookout Moutain. Its view is truly great. On a clear day visitors can see into parts of seven states. This is a great book. I would use this in many ways in my classroom. I could teach my kids the alphbet but also about Tennessee. I could also use this book when I talk about Tennesse history! So many possiblities with this book. I love it so much that I am going to order it for myself. My mother in-law knows the author of this book and has a signed copy. Awesome...Awesome book!
