The Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Union Square, Chinatown—these are just a sampling of the San Francisco landmarks featured in this magical journey around the fabled city by the bay. Each famous location is brought vividly to life by fanciful collage illustrations that sparkle with the same color and action found in the city itself. The lively text is accompanied by a "Fun Facts" section and "Explorer's Guide" at the back of the book, making this perfect for residents and visitors alike.

. . . A Wonderfully Illustrated Tour of San Francisco,
By Carol Lindberg (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The City by the Bay: A Magical Journey Around San Francisco (Hardcover)
I purchased this book, a beautifully illustrated treasure, as a souvenir on one of my trips to San Francisco. The illustrations are so incredible--bright, cheerful, detailed and full of life. Each illustration (i.e. Golden Gate Bridge, The Cable Cars and Lombard Street) is accompanied by a brief history and interesting facts. Other sections include an Overview of the city's history, "Fun Facts" about San Francisco and an "Explorer's Guide". The book is both absolutely beautiful and filled with relevant information about exploring San Francisco including telephone numbers for various attractions. I highly recommend this book both for children and adults.

This review is from: City by the Bay: A Magical Journey Around San Francisco (Paperback)
When I was still in elementary school, I would always check out this book during library time. I was always inspired by the written description and the intricately detailed pages of my beloved hometown. Now that I was able to purchase this beautifully made children's book, I think back to my youth and reminisce about the city by the bay.
