My granddaughter and her mother were going to DC and I wanted a good guide that would serve them both. The 10 yr. old loved the format. Lots of short pieces of fun information presented in kid-friendly fonts and colors with web-links for advance research. She and her Mom had seen some of the suggested sites on tv programs and were excited to plan their trip using suggestions from the book. Mom found the book to be great for planning your way around the city with just a few days to spend in it. Since the book features the highlights of DC, she could focus on what a 10 yr. old would want to see and figure out what they could fit in.
Before retirement I worked as a public librarian and based book selections on their appeal to a wide audience, as well as their visual look and content. This book hits all the marks and injects some humor for the intended readership, too. It's exactly what I was looking for in a travel guide for a young person, and worked really well to inform her time-pressed Mom.

10 year old girl and 9 year old boy both love it and can't wait to visit DC. We bought it ahead of time for our trip to get them interested and it definitely did the trick!

I bought this for my grandsons, 8 and 6, to learn a little about DC before they made their first visit. They liked the quirky, interesting facts and their parents found it a quick read ahead of the trip. It's a good choice for young readers to do some discovering on their own before they get to visit this amazing capital of ours.

This was a good book for helping us prepare for our trip and to get our kid interested and excited for the trip to DC. It is in a format that I would read it to the kids and we would flag things that sounded interesting to do on the trip. There aren't maps here but more information on good stops and some useful tips for parents traveling with kids.
