About this title

Review:

The story's colorful, retro-inspired illustrations bring the beloved city highlights to life, and make them seem magical again even to a jaded city kid who walks past them every day.
Red Tricycle
Taking a romp through the city doesn¹t have to be exhausting - just add it to your bedtime story ritual!
Red Tricycle
These wonderful, easy-reading books for children of all ages highlights many of the wonderful things to do and see while traveling to these cities. Both armchair and actual travelers will relish getting lost with Larry.
Cheryl Weems, Deschutes Public Library system, Bend Bulletin
Informative tidbits coupled with the rhyming words of Michael Mullin make it a more enjoyable and educational read. Being lost and searching has never been this much fun, and in the end Larry and his owner Pete reunite to drive back home exhausted from all the excitement. They also take with them the promise of yet another cool adventure the next day.
Kaye Cloutman, Sacramento Book Review
This is a first-rate lost and found journey. The book also offers stunningly bright retro-cartoon style illustrations, often from the perspective of Larry the dog that will appeal to all preschoolers.
Park Ridge Library
One of the best ABC books about Seattle around (yes, there are that many).

short, sweet and pure eye candy. The best kind of treat of all.
