You are so organized!
If you want to do more with the Native American side of it, there's also "The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush" and "The Girl who Loved Wild Horses." I know both of those are traditionally used here when we get to Texas history. There's also a book called "Hector the Bat," which is about the bats that live under the Congress Avenue bridge in Austin, and it has a sequel called "Hector Saves the Moon."
And, there's a cute book called Tumbleweed Stew, that's not specifically Texas, but it's a fun book. It's a variation on Stone Soup.
I'm going to subscribe to comments to see what other suggestions you get.
oops, forgot to actually hit subscribe to comments. I always do that when I want to subscribe.
Can't wait to see what fun stuff you do with Texas!I've seen a book at our library I'll have to think hard to see if i can remember the title!
Sorry - no good ideas here, but I like your approach in reading some fiction and non-fiction books on each State. I bet you will do some fun stuff with Lone Star State.
That sounds like fun!
That's great! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

I wish I had ideas for you, but I will be coming here all the time when we start our 50 States project for book ideas!
I still can't believe you find so many cool books for all of the states y'all have done!
Have fun in Texas:-).
"Bubba the Cowboy Prince" is cute. It's a Cinderella twisted tale.
