Hello, Rome! This board book series pairs early learning concepts with colorful, stylish illustrations of the iconic art, architecture, food, and culture of cities around the world. Both children and adults continue to love these hip and charming books!
In Rome you can learn about the days of the week while discovering the enjoy delicious gelato on Tuesday, ride your scooters past the Colosseum on Thursday, and visit St. Peter's Basilica on Sunday.
The locations and days of the week feels like a very cut and paste formula. There's a lost opportunity to actually tie some of the locations together or to evoke some of the charm of these locations. Illustrations are not bad but could be a little more inspired.
i’ve really been liking this one lately. my mom says she lived in rome for a few months and can’t wait to take me there one day! but she says we will eat lots of gelato every day, not just on friday like the book says.
