“This is a cleverly written story of the history of Alabama. I say clever because Jenn has made each day of a road trip vacation an exciting adventure without missing the more solemn moments. You can hear Ethan and Oliver’s curiosity and questions as if you were actually with them. Jenn has weaved the use of all 5 senses into each day. Make sure you don’t miss using the coloring and activity books. The QR codes are full of great things to keep the adventure going! Looking forward to visiting the next State with Ethan and Oliver. Elementary school teachers could use this book as an extra resource of guaranteed excitement and fun without the children realizing they are learning.”
