This is a great addition to the Flippy family. The first few books were lovely but simple board books for babies or toddlers but this one is more colorful, more advanced, and more fun for older kids. It is a nice story about all the fun things to see across the USA. We had a great time reading it to our son and I'm sure it will become a Flippy favorite. It surely deserves a "flippy award".

My kids love this Flippy book. They know all the character names by heart. With only one copy in the house, there is usually an arguement over who gets to take it to bed at night. The bright illustrations are precious. And I love the story line on a road trip...perfect for summer family vacations. Hope to see more from Flippy in the future!

What a great expansion of the Flippy series! I got the earlier books for my nieces, who adore them. This book branches out a bit and takes us all over the place, teaching kids about how much fun adventures with your friends and family can be. The text is a bit richer than the earlier books, which is wonderful for those children who are learning to read. Can't recommend these books highly enough!!
