Seattle! Famed Pike Place Market with its fishmongers; the soaring Space Needle; beautiful Lake Union — these are just some of the sights that Pete and his parents enjoy during their trip. There's only one problem — Pete's dog Larry has disappeared. So Pete goes all over the Emerald City searching for his furry friend. Along the way he sees some amazing sights, including the Underground City, the Aquarium, Sea-Tac Airport, and much more. Young readers will delight in Pete's experiences on the way to being reunited with his beloved pet in this vibrantly illustrated book.
Larry Gets Lost In Seattle My daughter recently was working in Seattle and my husband and I visited her there. We saw all of the spots except for a couple from "Larry Gets Lost in Seattle". The book is a surprise for our daughter...it will remind her of her days in Seattle. Excellent book if you are traveling to Seattle.
Alternately Charming, Informative, And Evocative This is my 18-month-old son's favorite book at the moment -- despite the fact that he's never visited Seattle, owned a dog, or met anybody named Pete (yet). But you don't have to be a kid to enjoy this tome; it's also the ideal book for anybody with a passing interest in where the Mariners play, what "The Fremont Troll" looks like, and the process by which aesthetically magnificent design & lettering can be married to a punchy and always-compelling travelogue. Highly recommended.
Great Kids (and Adult) book about Seattle This book is adorable. The story chronicles a young boy and pup as they explore Seattle. When Larry gets lost the readers are taken on an amazing tour to all of the best sites. The book has fresh artwork and is written in a light. humorous way. The story reads along for small children explain the highlights of the city but for older kids sitting in on story time, or adults who still love this stuff, there are a couple places of extra information that make the book so much fun. Right up there with Click, Clack, Moo!
Pete's quest ends happily and so will your experience reading this book. My wife and I visited Seattle this summer and wanted to pick up a local book about the city that we could share with our son (who traveled with us, but in my wife's uterus). The story of Larry and Pete was beautifully illustrated and we enjoyed the extra details about the city imbedded in the story. After spending 4 days in the city, we saw most of the sights detailed in the story-although, unlike Pete, we had a map. The story is endearing on another level because as we welcomed our son into the world this weekend we named him Pete! We are pretty sure that Larry Gets Lost in Seattle is already his favorite book.
Great book I just saw this book - super cute especially for tykes living in the Seattle area. Great rhymes and my daughter - 20 months - enjoyed it.
