Larry Gets Lost in Seattle

For anyone who has lived in Seattle, or wants to live in Seattle, or just plain likes Seattle, this is the book for you! In reality this book is for the children, but I enjoyed it as much as my grandson, Oliver. Larry is the boy and Pete is the dog in this lovely story. They see Seattle at its best, Somehow Larry and Pete become separated and they find their way around this city. From the Ferry ride to Pioneer Square to the Pike Fish Market and all over the town. Oliver's parents found some excellent places to take Oliver while they explored the city, A few weeks ago they went to the Ballard Locks and had a wonderful experience. Every child and every parent likes a good book. This is one of those books that child and parent will enjoy. It is a great deal of fun to explore your own city in a book and John Skewes and Robert Schwartz have found the perfect compliment in story and pictures. Great for ages 3-103. Highly Recommended. prisrob 07-15-09

I'm quite impressed with LARRY GETS LOST IN SEATTLE and am buying it for friends in the area with young kids. It conveys a real love for the city and is packed with local history and famed landmarks delivered in a punchy, easily digestible style. A fine stocking stuffer for Seattle visitors and residents alike.

This is a wonderful, informative, educational, and delightfully appealing book! It's the next best thing to taking a trip to Seattle with the family... which is what we plan to do this summer as a result of reading it. Highly recommended.

My kids love this book. We just took a trip to Seattle, and it's been their bedtime story every night since. Simple, informative - and you can't beat that art! I feel lucky to have stumbled across it. I Googled the creator and found Larry will be getting lost in other cities, too. Can't wait!
