Tiger Nation’s youngest generation will delight in The ABCs of LSU. Rhymed verse and colorful drawings introduce children to the landmarks, history, activities, and traditions of Louisiana’s flagship university. Each page of the book highlights a different letter of the alphabet:

Tiger Band Drumline stops on Victory Hill.

Cymbal, snares, bass give us a thrill!

To the Ag Center Dairy Store for a cold treat,

Delicious ice cream tasty and sweet.

Included are beloved mascot Mike the Tiger, baseball at Alex Box Stadium, the chiming Memorial Tower, dancing Golden Girls, the Quad, the Greek Theater, and much more.

Linda Colquitt Taylor and Erin Casteel’s lively, informative tour of the Baton Rouge campus will charm older readers as well as young. LSU students may learn something new; alumni and fans will relive happy memories.

From the ancient Indian Mounds to the latest Reveille headline, The ABCs of LSU celebrates what makes Louisiana State University one of a kind for all ages.

A second-generation LSU graduate, Linda Colquitt Taylor is a former teacher of the hearing-impaired and the author of New Orleans Saints Alphabet Book and TCU Alphabet Book.
