fun for mom and 2 year old kid

we love this book! there is so much detail that will hold our interest for years to come, and the illustrations are dead-on; it looks just like the town we live in! There is even a special car that you can find on each page in a different place (and it is really small). i first saw this book in the library, and decided to make it a permanent addition to our home library. fun, fun book :)

Educational and Entertaining

The Geiserts have made a book that can be enjoyed at many levels. At a basic level you have a lovely picture book about a small mountain town that has detailed pictures and is not too wordy. At another level a child can try to spot a blue car on each page and what experiences it has. On a more advanced level this book can promote a discussion of life in a small town and how the different seasons affect the lives of the folk who live there.
