Enjoy your trip!
I think I liked this book more than my children did.It does have alot of interesting facts and features.I recommend it for ages 8 to 11.

I wish we had one for every travel destination!
We bought this book for my 6 year old before a trip to D.C.He had just started reading over the previous year, and he read it during the entire drive and during our stay.He was able to look up all of the sites we planned to visit, and was so proud to share facts he learned with us.It was perfectly targeted to a young child, and he has picked it up to read many times since.He did not actually complete many of the activities (he is much more of a reader than a writer at this point).I only wish there was a book like this for every one of our trips!I would highly recommend!

Great for the Whole Family
We took this book along on our trip to DC and the whole family had fun and learned a lot from it. It is geared to kids of course, but was interesting and informative for adults to read also. It says for ages 4-8, but that means the activities, not the reading level. With our 8 yr old, she read some and we read some to her; it is probably too advanced for younger readers to read on their own. We learned a lot of things that were not found in any of our other (grown up) guide books. A great book.

My kids loved this
I bought a copy of this book for my three daughters to use while we were in DC. And it proved to be a hit. The book gives good information in an easy-to-understand format. The graphics and games were fun, and it kept them entertained on the plane ride there. They are telling me to give it a thumbs-up, so anything educational portrayed in a fun format gets my thumbs-up as well. The only criticism I have is that some of the information was outdated (the book was written 17 years ago, with no apparent updates) and is badly in need of a revision. Since 9-11, things have changed with some of the sites. Perhaps a short section explaining this to the kids, including why there has to be a security check in pretty much every building, would be in order. The Pentagon and FBI are not accessible at this time, and great limiations have been made at other buildings. Other than this shortcoming, though, the book is highly recommended.

A Kid's Guide to Washington, DC
I am horrified that this book did not address the vast history of Afican American's in Washington, DC.No mention was made of U-Street, Howard University or Frederick Douglas' home in SE section of the city as places to explore.

Parents, Washington is a great place to visit with your children come off of the Mall and find out. ... Read more

Peter Marshall books are A++++++
My oldest girls and I read this series, The Light and the Glory and From Sea to Shining Sea, together for American History. My younger daughter and I will do the same, plus I've bought the younger versions and activity books to go with them. We met Mr. Marshall when he visited our area years ago. He is a dedicated American and believer. The information he gathered from our government archives is truth rarely seen in American History books or heard in classrooms. It is forgotten truths straight from the historical documents put together in such an interesting read. It is heart warming and heart breaking and leaves you in awe of God. ... Read more

Wonderful, Useful Book
This is a wonderful and useful introduction to math and mathematical reasoning for pre-schoolers. Most importantly, my three-year-old son had fun with it, and found the colorful pictures throughout the book very engaging. Counting, matching, writing numbers one through ten, learning the use of "long" and "short", simple calculations, and other concepts are covered. At the top of each page is a small tag for parents telling them what the page is trying to teach. This is also a great book for helping children learn to follow instructions. Highly recommended for parents of pre-schoolers!

Great book for preschool and up
I really enjoy this book and have given it as a gift many times. Good for slightly older kids (not toddlers) as the fingerplays are a little on the hard side for very young children. We enjoy this book a great deal.

Finger Plays
This book brings back memories of many years ago.My mom would do these finger plays when I was a young child.I did them with my kids and now I am forwarding this book on to my son to do with his first child.

too wordy
I am a preschool teacher and the finger plays in this book are too long and wordy.The illustrations were not very easy to follow either.

Brings you and your child together
I bought this book when my daughter was an infant. She's over 4 now, and we still return to Emilie's fingerplays to have a fun rhyme and finger game. The book inculdes beautiful pen drawings of all of the finger positions (like how to make an umbrella or a caterpillar with your fingers), plus music for each rhyme--you can either speak them or sing them. The rhymes are very simple and easy to learn. A great tool for parents and children that will have you both laughing! ... Read more
