Many of North America’s most beloved regions are artfully celebrated in these boardbooks designed to soothe children before bedtime while instilling an early appreciation for the continent’s natural and cultural wonders. Each book stars a multicultural group of people visiting the featured area’s attractions—such as the Rocky Mountains in Denver, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Lake Ontario in Toronto, and volcanoes in Hawaii. Rhythmic language guides children through the passage of both a single day and the four seasons while saluting the iconic aspects of each place.
2 year old loves this book! We have been reading my daughter this book to her for over a year now and it is one of her favorites, she still never gets enough of it and what we love is this book is nice and short (those nights when they are really tired and you need to quickly get through 1 book) but with so much going on the pages we can even stretch it out - where are the flowers, where are the birds, who's in the boat, how many runners, etc..
We live just outside of Boston so she finds it neet to read a book that shows places she has been to!
Wicked Good Book! My husband and I grew up in Boston, but haven't lived there for many years. My brother found this book for our daughter. She LOVES it! We have to read it every night before bed. It shows so many fun parts of Boston like the Aquarium, Boston Commons, and of course the sports teams. Our daughter gets so excited to yell, "Go Red Sox. Win the game at Fenway Park!" The length is perfect to keep the attention of our toddler. It's not only our daughter's favorite book, it's also one of ours!
Rockabye Cradle of US History This delightful little book introduces very young readers to famous landmarks and sites in Boston. It's a good teaching tool and anybody from or familiar with or just plain fond of the Boston area will love it too. Boston is the Cradle of U.S. History; it is a cultural, academic and historical mecca and this book does a nice job of introducing that to young readers!
An ideal companion book Good Night San Francisco (Good Night Our World series) because it is about the Gem of the West Coast and this one is about the Gem of the East Coast.
Disappointing I definitely would suggest that you flip through this book in a store before purchasing. I liked the general topic covered by this book, but was extremely disappointed when we received it and I flipped through it. Basically every page says "Good Night (Insert Boston Landmark Here)." Maybe people that are familiar with these books already know this, but with this being the first in the "Good Night" series that I have purchased, I feel ripped off.
A little bit of home... I was so excited to find this book. My husband and I are both originally from Boston, and to be able to read a children's "Boston book" to our son is a great way to have him experience a little bit of our past home... and to familliarize him with some landmarks he will be seeing when we go to visit his grandparents. From the Charles to the Green Monster, the book and illustrations are great!
