We have learned so much from reading this book about one of our favourite places in the world and it was the perfect companion for our recent Florida trip!

A beautiful travel guide for kids, this book is packed full of so many fascinating facts about Florida. The illustrations throughout are bright and colourful and really bring to life the different areas of Florida. Unsurprisingly, our favourite page is “Amazing Animals” which we’ve read many times. I do have one odd criticism - there is no illustration of a dolphin in the entire book even though there’s a mini factfile about dolphins on the amazing animal page and there is an illustration of every other creature.

But we utterly loved this book and will look for more in this series!

The only things I know from Florida are their beach, heat and alligator. But reading this book has given me new insights about Florida. It is fun and makes me want to travel there myself :)
The drawings are wonderful and I think this book would be enjoyed by all age.

In a book that could have been put out by the Florida Tourism Bureau, Alexander highlights all the rich history and entertainment that the Sunshine State has to offer, while glossing over the racism of the past, and the current craziness engendered by "Don't Say Gay" DeSantis.

It's a fun book for kids and adults with bite-sized snippets of info scattered around Joseph Moffat-Peña's delightful illustrations. In all, an enjoyable guide to our wackiest state.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A fun j-non-fiction book for kids about the strange and cool things you can find in Florida. My favorite parts are the animals.

A great introduction to Florida history with lots of interesting facts in a really easily digestible way. Great for kids but equally great for adults too - lots of things I've added to see, eat and do for my trip to Florida soon.

Such a cute read, art work and a simple engaging introduction to the Florida coast. Would recommend for young readers.

As a regular visitor to the Florida coast, I can't recommend this book enough! Perfect for gift shop shelves or any bookstore, this is one I would definitely not pass up. The beautiful illustrations along with all things Florida facts, this book is perfect for anyone who lives in or loves Florida. Can't wait to get my hands a physical copy! Thank you for the advance copy!

Only in Florida takes you to a state known for sea, sand, sun, and fun by way of quickfire facts and colorful maps. The comprehensive guide covers each of Florida's major cities and regions and is packed full of facts about Florida with beautiful illustrations, maps and infographics bring the state to life. Another fun book in The 50 States series perfect for families ready to explorer and celebrate the USA.

Only in Florida is a fantastic book chalked full of engaging illustrations and TONS of information. Who knew that the official state dessert is strawberry shortcakes topped with whipped cream? Or that Florida is the only state in Washington, D.C. to have an Embassy? My son who was born in FL is fascinated by all things Florida, and this book did not disappoint. I look forward to adding a physical copy of this book to our collection soon.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Tons of great facts and illustrations from all over the sunshine state! I grew up in Florida and lived there for 24 years, and while I am familiar with much of the state, I did learn some fun things from this book.

This was a wonderful children's book! We have family in FL and my children love to visit and learn about the Sunshine State! The facts and art was so interesting and kid-friendly. I would definitely purchase this for my kids!

I just reviewed Only in Florida by Heather Alexander. #OnlyinFlorida #NetGalley

Wide eyed publications can do no wrong in my eyes. This is another stunning book with beautiful illustrations and lots of facts, definitely recommend.

I loved reading all the fun and important facts in this book! As someone that has lived in Georgia for a while, I thought I knew a lot about Florida, but this book taught me so much. I think kids will really enjoy it!

This is a great book for kids and their adults to read if/when they are planning a Florida vacation. The illustrations throughout are quite inviting and there is also lots of information and suggestions in these pages. Just some of the topics covered are Stats & Facts, Museums & Attractions, Food, Miami, the Keys and much more.

Kids can learn lots of facts to share with others in these pages. It is a great guide.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

Its a good book to explore in Florida. There is various of glorious food, got others attractions like museum, treasure coast, gold coast etc. Other than that, got beautiful trees and flowers, amazing animals can be found.

Love the facts and others info given. Suitable for those who are planning to visit Florida. Illusstration given was nice and easy to undertands for the text.

There's a lot of information about the state of Florida packed into this book, some of it odd....but all of it interesting! I think it's geared towards younger kids, but adults will find it worth reading too. Might find reading just a little bit at a time, makes it easier to absorb the info.... Fun colorful drawings accompany the text. I think it'd be a great book to have in any library!
I received a digital ARC from Quanto Publishing Group-Wide Eyed Editions via NetGalley, & in return I read it & am offering this fair & honest review.

With wonderfully colourful illustrations Heather Alexander takes kids on an journey to the most notorious of all US states: Florida. From nature reserves to the state's rich history, there is much to be learned, discovered and marvelled at. I think this would a wonderful read for families deciding on where to take their next trip together and prepare or just a gift for curious kids who love to learn.

Only in Florida had a lot of really interesting information about Florida. The info graphics were colorful and engaging. This was a very educational experience and I learned a lot, even as an adult. I can imagine younger readers would be really captivated by this book. It could be a great resource for a report about the State of Florida for a young student.
Thank you for the eARC!
