But readers of this compilation, whether nostalgic Boomers, curious kids, or social historians, will come away with a totally different outlook. "This book is funny, revealing, and sometimes irreverent, and covers a period I wouldn't have believe happened, if it hadn't happen When I Was A Kid."

Like everything in the Lone Star State, the history of Texas is larger than life. The flags of six different nations have flown over the state, which had a rich Native American heritage long before European explorers such as Cabeza de Vaca, Coronado, and La Salle ever arrived. The state was even its own republic, achieving independence from Mexico in 1836, yet joined the United States in 1845. Author Karen Bush Gibson tells the 500-year saga of this unique state, from the founding of the Spanish Missions to the victory at San Jacinto, from the Civil War to the first oil gusher at Spindletop, from the Great Storm that destroyed Galveston to the establishment of NASA's Mission Control in Houston. Texas History for Kids also includes 21 informative and fun activities to help readers better understand the state's culture, politics, and geography. Kids will recreate one of the six flags to fly over Texas, make castings of local wildlife tracks, design a ranch's branding iron, celebrate Juneteenth by reciting General Order Number 3, build a miniature Battle of Flowers float, and more. This valuable resource also includes a time line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and Web resources for further study. Karen Bush Gibson is the author of Women in Space, Women Aviators, Native American History for Kids, and three dozen other books for young readers. She lives in Norman, Oklahoma.

Phoebe Fox, media manager for a rock band and single mom to the surprise baby she conceived last Christmas, is spending this holiday season tracking down the Santa who got her pregnant and giving him the chance to know his son. And if she gets to replay the single best night of her life when she finds him, well, that's even better. Archer Fade, factory owner and sometime Santa Claus impersonator, is so focused on improving the culture at the toy factory he inherited that romance isn't on his radar, even if he can't get the runaway bride from that amazing night a year ago out of his head. When Phoebe finds Archer and a chance meeting makes her think he has a gorgeous model girlfriend, she leaves her hopes of a repeat rendezvous behind in favor of helping him be a dad to their son. So what happens when she finds out he's actually single and just as interested in repeating their one night as she is? And what will it mean when she learns he has a few naughty surprises of his own? ๐๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ข ๐ง๐ถ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ณ๐ฌ๐บ ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ด, ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ๐ต๐บ ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐บ, ๐ข ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง (๐ฃ๐ข๐ฃ๐บ) ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ต๐ต๐บ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ, ๐ข ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ช๐ต ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐ข๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐บ ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐ข๐ด. 18+
