Description

Continuing the success of the runaway best sellers That is New York and That is London comes the recent title from M. Sasek’s beloved and nostalgic children’s trip series. Sasek’s That is Washington, D.C. is a facsimile edition of his original book, which was once first published in 1969. The brilliant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, with the facts up to date for the twenty-first century. The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s playful narrative, makes for a perfect souvenir so as to delight children and parents alike. Super-tourist Sasek paints Washington red, white, and blue as he tours the nation’s capital. Stops include the Washington Monument (which commands a view of the entire Federal buildings and a number of the museums, monuments, and memorials), the White House (whose lawn is a grassy launching pad for the President’s helicopter), and the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park, the last place of dwelling of the world’s most famous ursine, Smokey the Bear! With bright pictures and snappy observation, Sasek wittily captures the entire fascinating things to do and see in a city of green parks, wide avenues, and classic white porticoes. Designed by a Frenchman and renowned for its cherry blossoms, That is Washington, D.C.!
