Spanning Texas to Florida, the Gulf Coast is one of America's most distinct regions. This book, comprised of poems, essays, journal entries, and information on the area's natural features, reveals the region's remarkable richness. With stops in such uniquely southern locales as Texas's Neches River Bottom, Mississippi's Pascagoula, and Louisiana's Bayou Dorcheat, the book introduces dynamic past and present inhabitants of the area, including Choctaw Indians, fur traders, cotton farmers, and city kids. Readers also encounter wild creatures such as rattlesnakes, alligators, mosquitoes, panthers, manatees, and whooping cranes. Literary selections by Zora Neale Hurston, Barry Hannah, E. O. Wilson, Joseph Bruchac, John James Audubon, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and other writers with ties to the Gulf Coast pay tribute to the region's strong storytelling tradition. Maps and 30 black-and-white illustrations are included.

The Gulf Coast: A Literary Field Guide (Stories from Where We Live Series)
I enjoyed Lubar's weenie series very much. As a future teacher looking for books to put on my shelf, this is the series for the job! I believe it can reach a lot of students who are struggling to find a book that they can finish. Each book has many short stories about children who over come their fears, whether it be clowns or vacuum cleaners. It is not only an easy read, but it's humorous, and relatable. It allows a student to connect with many different characters, instead of trying to connect with one or two. These books will foster student engagement instead of hinder it.
Also, I believe it could be an awesome series for read-aloud's. Teachers can start and end a whole story in one read-aloud session. With a book such as the Harry Potter series, the students attach to a few main characters and must follow the story from beginning to end. With the weenie series, one book can tell many stories. This also allows for say a substitute teacher to fill in during read-aloud.
