$16.95 USD / $19.95 CAN
Do you know a future Mizzou Tiger who’s old enough to begin learning their alphabet and numbers? Mizzou Tigers ABCs and 1-2-3s is tailored to kids ages 2-7 and teaches them about the University of Missouri and the city of Columbia. It highlights the tail-spinning Truman the Tiger, how the tradition of Homecoming was started at Mizzou, and the six iconic columns that overlook campus. This book is written by Robbie Haden, a Missouri Journalism School graduate and fourth-generation alumnus of the university. The book is richly designed by artist Rob Peters. Endorsed by early childhood development specialists, Mizzou Tigers ABCs and 1-2-3s is a wonderful addition to any child’s library as a birthday gift, for baby showers, holiday gift, or “just because.”
