Love Pittsburgh but not this book. Just because it is clearly meant to fill a market niche doesn’t mean the author or illustrator couldn’t find some way to sneak in some spark of creativity. Stick with the original Moon if you need a board book for a toddler to chew on

This is such a cute children’s book for anyone living in Pittsburgh or has some kind of connection to Pittsburgh.

There's no rhyme or rhythm to this bedtime children's book. It's a clumsy assemblage of Pittsburgh landmarks and culture that reads like a technical manual for a Casio calculator watch. The art is fine, the words are not.

Perfect for the story hour audience --two to four year olds.
