More than 200 appropriate places to take babies and toddlers are featured with complete information, directions, hours, accommodations and “Good Things to See and Hear.” Line art “Picture Guides” of objects, plants and living creatures toddlers may encounter are great learning aids. Websites, suggested reading and fun neighborhood activities are suggested as well. Whether the destination is a well-known museum, garden or zoo or an offbeat activity such as the schoolbus yard or a racetrack to picnic and see the horses’ morning workout, each new experience is designed to enhance a child’s later ability to learn and reason, while creating fun adventures for parents and child to experience together. For parents, grandparents, caregivers, and day care or nursery school teachers. And, it makes a great baby shower gift!
