This is an engaging, yet simple board book that shows different scenes in the city throughout the day, starting with Good morning (sea lions, GG Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, etc.) and moves onto Good Afternoon, Hello, Good Evening, and Good Night to some other scenes (kites, Cliff House, Seal Rocks, Golden Gate Park, children playing at the beach, submarine, historic ships, fishing boats, Palace of Fine Arts, Coit Tower, Pacific Ocean, city lights, and more). My kids (and 2 and 4) enjoy seeing the sites in the book of this city they know and love. The story asks questions through out that always prompt a response from my kids. When the book says good evening to "The Thinker" it asks, "What are you thinking about?" or at the Exploratorium, it asks, "Don't you love to discover how things work?" The books highlights some of the more popular attractions, but also includes lesser known attractions such as the Conservatory of Flowers, Stow Lake, Exploratorium, Aquarium and more. After many years of living in the city, I have never gone to many of those places, but this book is a great reminder of all the fun places to check out in the city with my kids.
Adorable, sweet story, nicely illustrated.I had seen this book when I was in San Francisco and couldn't fit one more thing in my carry onI was glad to be able to order it from . The only issue is that the pages were stuck together. They hadn't been separated. I had to use a knife to unstick them. I was surprised at this lack of quality/inspection. The rating I give is not 5 stars due to this issue.
Our son was so happy when he got this book fir Christmas. It turned out that they had it at his preschool. Living in the Bay Area are four year old son has made day trips into the city. He was excited to see all the places he had been. It also prompted us to plan day trips to a few of the places we have not visited yet.
My family loves the Good Night Series and this is the first one that I have been disappointed in. The graphics in this book are more abstract than the others. Its okay but not what I was hoping for San Francisco, which is one of my favorite cities. At least it still has all the landmarks from SF.
We love this book about our city. My daughter especially loves the page on the Exploratorium. It makes a great gift for out-of-town friends with kids.
I bought this book for my little niece that lives out of state. It is durable for her to play with and/or chew on. It is a simple story, but I like that it gives her a tour of SF sites close to where her Auntie and Uncle live. Her parents loved it and are going to pick one up in the cities that they travel to.
This delightful little book is an excellent teaching tool for introducing young readers to the wonderful city of San Francisco, the Gem of the West Coast. Readers get to meet and greet sea lions, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park and other delightful sites in the Golden City.An ideal companion book is Good Night Boston (Good Night Our World series) because it is about the Gem of the East Coast and this one is about the Gem of the West Coast.
I grew up in the Bay Area and miss it dearly. This story is a great reminder of all of the things I love about San Francisco. The rhymes are cute and the pictures are captivating and full of little things to look at. When our kids get older, I think we can also use this book to play a game of "find the _____," as there are so many little things to look at on the pages.
