A Lewes ABC

by Nancy Sakaduski

From fishing in the canal to watching the ferry come in, the familiar sights and sounds of Lewes, Delaware are captured in this charming picture book illustrated by Emory Au. Children will recognize activities such as digging for treasure on the beach, watching the dolphins frolic, going on the rides in Rehoboth, and visiting the Zwaanendael Museum. Geared for children ages 2-8, but easily enjoyed by younger and older children, as well as their parents and grandparents. Residents and vacationers alike will want to make this part of their home library. The delightful rhyming text is complemented by intentionally inclusive illustrations.
