4 ⭐ This book is a info dump about Texas. However, this info dump works really well. The author has arranged it in sections that work well together. These sections include various cities, sports places, food inventions, and important people. I like that this book is fully illustrated. Many books like this would be a mix of illustrations and real photos but I think it works well. I actually hope this becomes a series and we get one for every state.
