A.) Important signs that may be found in a city and what they mean.
B.) There is little words and big pictures that would help children learn what important signs mean in order to be aware in a big city.
C.) This book includes text features such as pictures and captions.
D.) I would use this book in beginning grades to teach kids what different signs look like and what they mean in order to keep them safe and aware.

Este libro tiene fotografías de señales de la ciudad, es muy bonito para niños que están aprendiendo a leer o comenzando con el inglés, como para el primer día. También gustará a bebés que podrán comentar e identificar las situaciones y lo que las señales indican aunque no lo sepan leer.
Recomiendo.

The book is fanatstic for children, it develops their creativity and teaches them about their environment. My child is 4 years old and can't tear himself away from a book. All recommendations for future buyers, you won't regret it, your kids will love this book

This is a great picture book to use when planning a transportation unit for grades K-2. It includes great photos of all the types of signs seen throughout the city. It would be perfect for discussion of signs and their meanings.
