This book is suitable for readers aged from birth to 3 years. Some of America's most beloved regions are artfully celebrated in these boardbooks designed to soothe children before bedtime while instilling an early appreciation for the country's natural and cultural wonders. Each book stars a multicultural group of people visiting the featured area's attractions - such as the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Broadway musicals in New York City, Lake Michigan in Chicago, and orange groves in Florida. Rhythmic language guides children through the passage of both a single day and the four seasons while saluting the iconic aspects of each place.
