Kids will learn to count from one to 10 with some of Chicago's most beloved symbols--the Sears Tower, the el train, Navy Pier fireworks, Chicago-style hot dogs, and deep dish pizza--in this board book. The end of the book includes a complete location list, in both English and Spanish, to help parents locate the symbols and landmarks and plan an entertaining trip to Chicago - or a fun day for the local families.

"We can't wait to share the whole big world with the little people in our lives, especially some of our favorite places right here in the USA. Is there any way Chicago-style pizza could make an acceptable first food for baby?" --Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine
