Book Description

4 and upP and up
Gigi is spending a day in the big city—and what a day it is! She travels through town on mass transportation, shops in various stores, goes to lots of museums, meets interesting people and learns about their occupations, and then goes home to dream of her fun-filled and informative day.
 
Through the use of lift-the-flaps, pull tabs, and changing-picture wheels, readers will learn about birthstones, genres of literature, the history of shoes and makeup, art and its different media, natural history (including the world’s largest tusks, flower, and butterfly!), and mermaids and fairies.
 
Young girls will have the time of their lives with Gigi—and they’ll learn a lot, too!

More About the Author

Here are some things I have learned:

Using comics can be a good way to tell a story.
Fed Ex envelopes are handy for filing stuff.
Revising is surprisingly satisfying, but not always easy.
Some things are fun to look at, but not fun to own.
A day can be long.
A day can be short.
And sometimes one little thing can change a whole day. Like the time I got the good parking spot outside Trader Joes - good day!

Best wishes to you, for a good one!

Charise

5.0 out of 5 stars working mom, August 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gigi in the Big City (Hardcover)
My six year old daughter loves this book. We have other books by the same author and love those as well. It's a very cute story and informative too. There are tons of flaps to lift up and a couple of wheels and tabs to move which make the book appealing to a little girl. This is not a toddler's lift the flap book. I agree with another reviewer that this is a great book for the 5-7 year old and would make a perfect gift.

This review is from: Gigi in the Big City (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book which my BOYS (yes, BOYS!) ages 6 and 8 totally love. It is my go-to birthday gift (I have a stack of these books in my closet!) It has so much going on that the kids can read it over and over, discovering something new every time. I can't wait for the next one...and the cartoon series!

5.0 out of 5 stars So fun. So engaging. Lift the Flap for "Older Girls" (i.e. 5-7 year olds), November 26, 2010
By 
NYC Mom (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gigi in the Big City (Hardcover)
So perfect for my 5 year old daughter who couldn't put it down! So many fun to lift flaps and wheels to spin...but wait...there is actually content that you want your child to learn about in this book! One page has four stores to explore from dress up in the Parade of Fashion to a mini book about Amelia Earhart in the Book Shop. This author knows how to draw in young girls. Lots and lots of facts hidden behind flaps. I know my little emerging reader is going to be returning to this book for years.

I will be buying more as birthday gifts!

Also, check out the Fashion Kitty books by the same author...very fun age appropriate books!
