T is for Tar Heel at first seems as though it is meant for a Kindergarten classroom, but upon further inspection, this book offers a delightful surprise. Even though Carol Crane includes simple rhyming passages for younger children, she included longer expository text for older students that provide important information of various landmarks, symbols, and people. This book comes in a series where the reader is able to learn in similar ways about other states and America. This book is very versatile as far as being able to work for Kindergarten and the upper grades. It could be used for students who have just located to the area or for ELL students who have seen some of these landmarks and can make a personal connection through the text.
