Texas has changed dramatically since it joined the United States in 1845. It has become a national leader in resources and many industries--it serves as a major supplier of the nation's oil, cattle, and agriculture. This nonfiction book will captivate readers as they learn about major Texas industries through engaging images, facts, photographs, and sidebars. Children will learn about Texas' government, economy, connection to NASA, and most popular industries, types of music, art, and sports. The supportive text and accessible glossary and index help students better understand the content and vocabulary as they read about modern day Texas. This book also includes an in-class activity that allows students to use their new knowledge of Texas.
