I enjoyed this book a lot. The first reason I enjoyed this book was for it's informative language. The language helps to detail a lot of what can be found in Washington D.C., from cherry blossom trees, to the metro station. Its great for a young reader to learn about these things. Secondly, the illustrations are wonderful. The pictures are beautiful, and full of the colorful and interesting things that can be found in this city. One of the photographs that really stuck out to me was one from inside of the National Air and Space Museum. It could really instill an interest in young readers! The overall idea of this book was to inform the reader all about our nations capital, and I think it did a really great job of that. ( )
