Larry Gets Lost in Los Angeles: Los Angeles Books for Kids

Larry Gets Lost

by John Skewes, Michael Mullin

In this new entry in the Larry Gets Lost series, Larry and Pete's travels take them to Los Angeles, and once again Larry gets lost! But not to worry-there's plenty to do in this new city. As he searches for Pete, Larry visits some amazing places, from wild Venice Beach to stately Beverly Hills, from exciting Disneyland to the icky La Brea Tar Pits. Eventually, the two reunite, but not before Larry-and the reader-has had a great adventure. Filled with John Skewes' candy-colored retro-inspired illustrations, Larry Gets Lost in Los Angeles offers young readers a witty dog's-eye view of the City of Angels. Sidebar entries enhance the story, offering fun factoids about the places Larry visits.

Okay I have to admit, I gave it 5 stars because I am from L.A. but it's a cute story and cool illustrations. It took me some time to find picture book on Los Angeles. But I really do enjoy this fun read and I bet kids from the midwest will enjoy it as much as I did.

Great way to teach young students how to capitalize proper nouns. As a native Angelino, I found this book very charming!

In less than 20 delightfully illustrated and informative pages, there is a complete itinerary of important places to go and see for a good tour of Los Angeles, California.

Part of The Larry Gets Lost series, this time Larry is lost in Los Angeles. As Larry looks for Pete, he is able to visit several iconic Los Angeles sites.

Book exists merely as a frame to introduce kids to L.A. -- the story has no internal logic. Skip it.
