I bought this book and gave it to children from Australia that were visiting me. It is now in their own book collection in the "Down-under." They enjoy showing it to their friends.
This is a marvelous gift for parents and their children, from newborns to grade-schoolers, who have any connection at all with St. Louis. It showcases the beauty and the history of some of our sites, and creates anticipation of visits all over the city.ES
Loved the book! It gave my out of town nieces a better idea of the St. Louis area!
