They'll read about flora and fauna, including the moose, black bear, beaver, bobcat, coyote, and mink. The economy-based on natural resources-is presented as well. Natives are also highlighted, including writers Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, E. B. White, and Stephen King, politicians Dorothea Dix, and Margaret Chase Smith, and inventor L. L. Bean
