Premise/plot: What you see is what you get. Mostly. An alphabet book. Each alphabet letter is paired--for better or worse--with something associated with Texas (supposedly).
My thoughts: This one is written in rhyme--or attempted rhyme. The rhythm is sometimes (often) lacking. I think I would rather it almost be simpler without the extra additions or descriptions. Like "G is for Galveston." Granted, an alphabet poem will never be natural and flowing. Expecting an alphabet poem to act against its nature is not fair.
The word choices vary in quality. Like "J is for jumping." It elaborates...jumping in waves. But any state with a coast can have waves to jump in. Nothing particularly "Texan" about that. And "I for incredible" was also on the weaker end. (But they can't all be N is for NASA. OR T is for tacos.)
The "deal-breaker" for me, personally, was V IS FOR VIOLINS. Yes, it elaborates this is for Austin Philharmonic. But chances are classical music isn't the first, most dominate, association when it comes to Texas and the music scene. It seems like F should be for FIDDLES. (Because if you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.)
Overall, this one reads like the author has never really been to Texas. (
