love this beautifully illustrated view of Maine!

beach, and celebrate July 4th in Bristol. In Newport they see
sailing ships in the summer and mansions dressed for the holidays
in the winter. Returning to Providence, they are amazed by
WaterFire! For ages 2-5.
Author and illustrator Martha Zschock was a third-grade teacher on
Cape Cod. When taking her students on field trips on the Cape, she
discovered what sites and stories excited them most. Drawing on
that experience, she created what one Cape Cod bookseller calls
"the best Cape book we've ever had," and the first in a series of
alphabet books that visit great American places. Journey Around
Cape Cod and the Islands From A to Z is an alphabet book, but one
that is equally enjoyable and interesting for children of all ages
and for adults, as well. From Aptucxet to Zooplankton, it offers
fascinating information about the Cape and its history, all of it
illustrated with Zschock's beautiful watercolor work.
With over 250,000 copies in print, the remarkable Journey Around

bestselling series in 1999. Hop aboard the L, circle the Loop,

Around Chicago from A to Z takes readers on a tour of the "Second
City" that is second to none. Over 250,000 copies of Zschock's work

artist but also a committed educator, whose books are embraced by
teachers and principals nationwide.
