L.     Brief summary:  V for Volunteer, educates the reader on the state of Tennessee. It walks us through the best aspects of Tennessee, Nashville, Jubilee singers, and much more. It also uses the alphabet to help us build our vocabulary. Lastly, at the end of the book, it has a review section, where we can test our knowledge of the state that we learned.  

M.   Description of how you would use the book with students: I would use this when teaching the 50 states of the US, and when teaching about the state of Tennessee’s history, we live here we should know the critical information . We can also make our own alphabet based on the state of TN. We can get creative and use our town that we live in to make our own book.
