This Is Larry, This Is Pete,
By
This review is from: Larry Gets Lost in Seattle (Hardcover)
For anyone who has lived in Seattle, or wants to live in Seattle, or just plain likes Seattle, this is the book for you! In reality this book is for the children, but I enjoyed it as much as my grandson, Oliver. Larry is the boy and Pete is the dog in this lovely story. They see Seattle at its best, Somehow Larry and Pete become separated and they find their way around this city. From the Ferry ride to Pioneer Square to the Pike Fish Market and all over the town. Oliver's parents found some excellent places to take Oliver while they explored the city, A few weeks ago they went to the Ballard Locks and had a wonderful experience. Every child and every parent likes a good book. This is one of those books that child and parent will enjoy. It is a great deal of fun to explore your own city in a book and John Skewes and Robert Schwartz have found the perfect compliment in story and pictures. Great for ages 3-103. Highly Recommended. prisrob 07-15-09

Pete's quest ends happily and so will your experience reading this book.,
By ryan (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Larry Gets Lost in Seattle (Hardcover)
My wife and I visited Seattle this summer and wanted to pick up a local book about the city that we could share with our son (who traveled with us, but in my wife's uterus). The story of Larry and Pete was beautifully illustrated and we enjoyed the extra details about the city imbedded in the story. After spending 4 days in the city, we saw most of the sights detailed in the story-although, unlike Pete, we had a map. The story is endearing on another level because as we welcomed our son into the world this weekend we named him Pete! We are pretty sure that Larry Gets Lost in Seattle is already his favorite book.
