What a cute concept to introduce kids to different US cities. Each two-page spread features a different city (and its nickname) on the journey from New York to Los Angeles. There are a lot of appealing visuals to keep kids engaged, from the design on each US city name to dogs (and sometimes cats) visiting local sites of interest.

As someone who adores traveling, I imagine this would be a fantastic way to instill that love in a child early on and get them excited about going on family vacations. Highly recommended!

In this simple board book, each page spread depicts scenes from different famous cities in the USA. Readers will witness planes passing through New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The artwork is bright and bold -- sure to keep the attention of young readers.

This was cute and might make a good book for "Read Across America Day" for those who digress from Seuss. A way to tell toddlers the names of cities, and a good book to point to LOTS of things in the pictures to get them talking and labeling things they see in books.

The cover of this book won me over immediately. Adorable dogs flying planes! Little hands will want to seek out every detail on every spread of this fun board book filled with humor, playfulness, and famous U.S. landmarks.

This board board is adorable, and takes readers through U.S. cities with dogs flying planes. There is such great detail in the illustrations for each city (keep your eyes out for the lobster!).

Cute but I was disappointed that the Chicago visit omitted Midway airport!
