123 Chicago

Description

Kids will learn to count from one to 10 with some of Chicago's most beloved symbols-the Sears Tower, the el train, Navy Pier fireworks, Chicago-style hot dogs, and deep dish pizza-in this board book. The end of the book includes a complete location list, in both English and Spanish, to help parents locate the symbols and landmarks and plan an entertaining trip to Chicago - or a fun day for the local families. Kids will enjoy reading 123 Chicago over and over again while getting to practice essential number skills.
