This is an adorable board book. The story tells of many fun-filled attractions that can be experienced in Washington, all illustrated with bright, colorful pictures drawn with so much attention to detail. I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and I look forward to reading (or singing!) it with my grandchildren.

This book was packed with awesome things about Washington State. I think I would have liked it better if it wasn't during Christmas time because I think this concept would be great. Anytime of the year. It would make a great picture book about Washington.

So cute! My kids loved this little book.

Much better than expected. I honestly thought this would be a fill-in-the-blank written-by-computer sort of book, but it actually covers the state nicely and in an order that would make sense if you were actually taking a trip. Super cute.

Molly is excited about her cousin Max's visit to Washington and Max writes lively letters home to tell his mom ad dad all about his trip to the Evergreen State..
