This is a Penelope Dyan 'learn to read' book with a purpose. What is that purpose? The purpose of this book is to engage the child, to let the child look at a place filled with music, mystery and magic, as a child sees a place. And then if you go there, to see how many things the child recognizes, and how many more things he or she can discover. Travel is, after all, an exploration. And each place you visit has its own feel, its very own personality. If travel is to be memorable, then you need to remember its feel Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan and filled with the Photographs of John D.
