2.0 out of 5 stars
ONLY for wealthy westside: Bev Hills, Bel Air, Santa Monica,
By A Customer
This review is from: City Baby L.A. (Paperback)
I agree with the reviewer from Hermosa Beach. This guide only covers the wealthy westside of LA. How about the rest of LA?There is an entire valley left out called the San Gabriel Valley! The westside of LA distinguishes itself with astronomical prices which shock those of us who live on earth. I speak as one of the few earthlings who live in this part of town. When the guide says that the baby clothes made by Fred Siegel are reasonably priced, that's a definite sign that this guide is only for the affluent and has an altered sense of reasonable prices. The preschool list is helpful, but again, this list ONLY covers the westside of LA. Am I repeating myself here with "westside only"?

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great - if you live on the Westside,
By A Customer
This review is from: City Baby L.A. (Paperback)
This book is entertaining, but the vast majority of the resources provided are located in the Santa Monica/West LA area or the San Fernando Valley. Other parts of LA such as Glendale/Pasadena and South Bay/Long Beach are only mentioned if there is a shop or attraction that warrants the hike all the way out there.

This review is from: City Baby L.A. (Paperback)
I got this book as a gift and while there are some interesting things to do in it...there is almost NOTHING pertaining to anyone who doesn't live in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills. We live in a great community, La Crescenta, and would LOVE to know the preschools around here and parks and great places to shop. Most of the information is outdated now as well. FAO Schwartz is closed...etc.
