Praise for the Larry Gets Lost series
"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
"These wonderful, easy-reading books for children of all ages
highlight 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, the Bulletin
