I am using this book with Beautiful Feets Geography Literature guide. It is a secular. As you read the book you learn about the Mississippi book and geography while labeling a map. Hollings writing is very entertaining to a child even though the book was written in the 40's. The pictures are very detailed and realistic. The text is easy to understand, but not to simple. It does not talk down to your child. Even with out the map or guide my children and I enjoy reading it again.
Holling is a wonderful writer that should be in everyones library wether you have littles or not. His classic style is exceptional in the way he captures the fun of childhood. We are very pleased with this book and purchase.
