This review is from: I read symbols (Hardcover)

This book has great photographs of actual street signs. In most of the pictures, you'll see trees and building or streets in the background. Kids will know some of the signs and symbols and will learn some they might not know. Should anyone get stumped, there is a list of the signs with their meanings at the end of the book. This might be the basis of a fun game for kids in looking for signs near their home or on the way to school.
