Martha Day Zschock (Author), Heather Zschock (Designer)

Book Description

Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up | Series: Journeys

Next stop, Chicago! That's the shout from conductor Martha Day Zschock, who has taken children and their delighted parents on Journeys Around Boston, New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Maine, Nantucket, and Cape Cod since starting this bestselling series in 1999. Hop aboard the L, circle the Loop, board a water taxi, walk the waterfront! From the Lincoln Park Zoo to Wrigley Field, from the Magnificent Mile to Navy Pier, Journey Around Chicago from A to Z takes readers on a tour of the "Second City" that is second to none. Over 250,000 copies of Zschock's work are in print, perhaps because Zschock is not only a brilliant artist but also a committed educator, whose books are embraced by teachers and principals nationwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Journey, June 12, 2007

Marie H "ABC FAN" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journey Around Chicago from A to Z (Journeys) (Hardcover)

Of all the Journey ABC books the one to Chicago has been the best. After reading the book one can make a list of where he or she would like to go and the sights to see in Chicago. The book is beautifully illustrated with a little WALDO theme inserted. Children and adults will enjoy finding a cardinal on every page.I recommend the book to 7 and older especially to those who like to travel.

We purchased this prior to moving to the Chicago area in order to prep our toddler for the move. It's a gorgeous book with excellent illustrations and lots of wonderful information about the city. Highly recommended for anyone with a connection to the city - particularly those with kids!
