Book Review: Mighty Big and Super Great: Texas Is The ‘Lone Star State’! By Amber Manning
Both my older boys were born in Texas and they are fascinated with anything that talks or teaches them about their birth state. That’s why this book was loved by both of them. In this book you will learn many interesting and fun facts about the wonderful state of Texas. Facts like the state bird, flower, official insect, and the official large mammal. The illustrations are colorful and draw you in. They kept my little one entertained.
This is a great book if you are like us and love the great state of Texas, or if you just want to learn about it. Either way it’s a fun and educational book.

About the Author
Amber Manning is an independent, working mother with 3 rowdy and handsome boys. She has a “no-nonsense, never quit, make no excuses” attitude and tries her best to stay positive throughout life! Her main purpose in this world, she believes, is to raise her boys properly, help others and make a difference!
She loves “the old school” way of living and believes that if more people would have that attitude that the world would be a better place! Born and raised in Texas, she is 100% Texan in heart! She
loves her family, water sports, outdoors, reading, camping, bonfires, good music turned up loud and can sometimes be corny. She knows it and her response is, “being normal is boring!” She tries to always give the gift of a smile because she says she hopes it “brightens someone’s day!” She believes every single person has struggles and believes the philosophy “you should never look down on someone, unless it’s to help them up!” Her favorite story is the “Starfish Story” (you made a difference to that one).
Children are her favorite people in the world and have been since she was a child! They hold the most special place in her heart. She has always loved to write and has wanted to be an elementary or middle school teacher since she was 7 years old. In her book, she gets to “teach” children about Texas!
