San Francisco Baby (Local Baby Books) by Tess Shea and Jerome Pohlen, illustrated by Violet Lemay Ages 3+ 22 pages Duo Press LLC September 2013 Board book     Set in San Francisco, this board book features the sights that make this city so special. You’ll take a morning stroll in the fog, walk along the city’s beautiful Embarcadero waterfront with the Bay Bridge in the background, and hop on a cable car that will whisk you up and down San Francisco’s steep hills. At a playground, you’ll see children from many ethnic groups having fun together on the swings and engaging in sports like basketball and soccer. You’ll also find pictures of Chinatown’s famous dragons and the sea lions who love to sleep in the sun near Fisherman’s Wharf. At the back of the book, some reading tips and activities will help you get the most out of reading this book. Not only is this the ideal book for someone who lives either in San Francisco, the Bay Area or Northern California; it is also an excellent way of showing a child what to expect on a visit to this fabulous city.     web reviews   Bob Walch/2013 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
