Julie Jaskol & Brian Lewis, City of Angels (1999)

I'm a sucker for great illustrations, & this book has them!

Each page highlights a different landmark or neighborhood in & around Los Angeles, making sure to cover many of the different cultures represented in the city, from China Town & the Mariachi Plaza, to the Watts Towers & the Getty Center. The illustrations are packed with colorful images, in a Where's Waldo sort of way. (Can you find the angels on each page?)

This would be a great gift for any child - or adult - who lives in or plans to visit our second largest city.
