Illustrated by: Renee Graef
The intriguing facts and faces, history and places of Wisconsin
are revealed to readers young and old in "B is for Badger: A
Wisconsin Alphabet." From its leaders in fine arts and architecture
(Georgia O'Keefe and Frank Lloyd Wright) to its pioneers in nature
conservation (John Muir and Aldo Leopold), Wisconsin has been an
influence on major movements in education, industry, and use of
natural resources. Brought to life with lyric rhymes and
expressive, original artwork, "B is for Badger" showcases for
natives and visitors alike the splendors of Wisconsin.
