Mississippi Alphabet

Mississippi Alphabet

What is A for in Mississippi?
A's for AZALEAS that bloom in the spring
And it's for ARMADILLOâ€”a strange-looking thing!
Old Southern homes that are lovely to view
Are called ANTEBELLUM. That starts with A, too!

What is B for in Mississippi?
B's for Biloxi, a town on our coast
And the big International BALLET that we host.
B is for B.B.â€”you bet! B.B. King!
And B's for the BLUES that he really can sing.

Mississippi Alphabet is a celebration of what makes Mississippi such a special state...from A to Z!

Through rhymed verse, Laurie Parkerâ€”the author who took Skippy Everywhere in Mississippiâ€”presents a fun alphabetical account of some of the many people, places, and things unique to Mississippi.

Both children and adults will enjoy exploring Mississippi letter by letter through rhymes such as this one for the letter C:

C is for COTTON grown here on our land
And the CAPITOL building where state laws are planned.
C is for CATFISH, farm-raised in a pond
And our own Jerry CLOWER of whom we're so fond.
There's the CANTON Flea Market where folks come to browse
And CHURCHES and CHICKEN and CORNBREAD and COWS!
