A bit disappointing. Of the roughly 45 pages in this book, only the first 15 are dedicated strictly to Cincinnati. The rest of the book talks about Ohio, in general.

The pictures are in color and are beautiful, but I expected more from Arcadia Publishing. This is the same publisher that produces the "Images of America" series for adults.

This is an awesome book for adults who want to travel Ohio, kids not as much. I don't think it's kid friendly even for those who are at the appropriate reading level but I liked it. This book is a good start for kids doing a project on the State of Ohio even if it has Cincinnati on the title.

Good info... But a bit lacking in amount of info.
