How many letters do you see around you? All 26 and then some is the answer in this gorgeous picture book that teaches little ones the alphabet during a journey through Seattle. The tour guides are everyone's favorite excitable pooch, Larry, and his owner, Pete. This new entry in the popular Larry Gets Lost series finds the plucky duo experiencing all that the Emerald City has to offer. They visit the Seattle Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo, and Lake Union, and learn about houseboats and hydroplanes, geoducks and viaducts, even evergreens and coffee! Bright colors, witty retro illustrations, and two endearing hosts make this an entertaining way for children who are visiting or live in Seattle to learn the alphabet.

This review is from: Seattle ABC: A Larry Gets Lost Book (Hardcover)
Here's the thing: When it comes to giving praise for a children's book, I don't ladle it out like so much gravy. For me the book has to be first, and foremost, entertaining (especially if I'm going to read it over and over to the little ones) and secondly, though it's not necessarily a prerequisite, educational. The "Larry Gets Lost" series is all that and more. In this particular adventure, we learn more about Seattle, which has already sparked interest in my kids to go visit so we can see all the landmarks that Larry gets lost at. But more than that, the imaginative and thrilling artwork by Mr. Skewes evokes the great impressionist modern cartoons of my youth (e.g. Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, etc.) Kudos to Mr. Skewes and Mr. Schwartz for creating a geographically delightful series. I'm looking forward to Larry Getting Lost in other cities... and countries, for that matter!

My niece loves Larry and Seattle. When I go visit her, she has me read both her Larry books Seattle ABC and Larry Gets Lost in Seattle. The drawings are great and especially if you want to share Seattle with a little one this is a great book!
