Poor Larry, he's always looking for a treat and he always
manages to get lost....but he manages to get lost is some amazing places and
manages to see all the sites along the way! In this adventure Larry travels
with Pete and the family to the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia (my home
town) and along the way Larry managed to have a Rocky like run through the city
and he took us along with him to sees all the sites our city has to offer. Here
is a little more information about Larry Gets Lost in Philadelphia , from the website:
Sasquatch Books is
pleased to announce the newest adventure in the bestselling Larry Gets Lost
series, Larry Gets Lost in Philadelphia. This colorful picture book follows the
Philadelphia adventures of Larry, a dog with a penchant for getting lost, and
his owner Pete. After Larry and Pete become separated, their search for each
other leads them through some of Philadelphia’s most interesting landmarks
including the Liberty Bell, Independence Square, the Betsy Ross House, LOVE
Park, Elfreth’s Alley, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Zoo and
much more!
We encourage our daughter to read and she reads a lot, and
when she saw Larry Gets Lost in Philadelphia she was excited to read the book
to possibly see some places she knows and to see what kind of trouble Larry
could manage to get himself into. She'd be reading the book and we'd hear her
say I know where that is! Larry traversed the city and saw many of the things
we have to offer (most of which, as locals, we take for granted and not realize
just how important these places are.) Larry & Pete drove over the Ben
Franklin Bridge, made stops by Citizen's Bank Park (home of the Phillies),
visited Pat's and Geno's and grabbed some cheese steaks wit whiz, hit both
Independence Hall and City Hall, Betsy Ross' House, the Liberty Bell, the Art
Museum (now home of the Rocky statue), and Elfreth's Alley (our nation's oldest
residential street) and many other landmarks along the way.
This is a great book for many reasons, it's written in such
a way to make children interested in seeing things they might not normally be
interested in visiting. And when Larry managed to hit an important place along
the way the book had a nice little summary explaining the significance to the
place Larry was visiting and there's where this book really did a great job in
my opinion, they made learning fun. Once our daughter was done reading she had
a million questions about the city and things that Larry and Pete had seen and
since we live within driving (some places walking) distance to most of these
places we can physically take her there so she can go on her own Larry like
adventure. Nothing beats a good book that stirs the reader into wanting to
learn more and Larry wants us to learn more.
