About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-6-- A series entry that introduces the history, culture, and people of the City of Brotherly Love to young tourists and residents. Clay outlines its history from the colonial period of Ben Franklin and the Founding Fathers to the present. She describes the ethnic, maritime, and science museums; Philadelphia Zoo; South Street; and other attractions of the city. Readers gain insight into the varied lifestyles of its people from the sections pertaining to the mummers, neighborhoods, sports teams, and favorite foods. An attractive cover, two-color cartoon illustrations, and the clear and simple writing style make this offering appealing. The lack of photographs and an index are slight drawbacks, but overall, it's a welcome addition to travel guide or geography sections. --Bruce Lee Siebers, Free Lib . of Philadelphia
