Description
Two California valley quail soar across California to find Milo, the playful dog who has a knack for hiding. Is he strutting down the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Or maybe splashing in the Malibu waves? Explore California's curiosities and wonders with this story in verse that will help even the most reluctant readers learn their ABC's. In this playful addition to the Finding Milo series, California ABC's introduces young learners to diverse cities, landscapes, and quirky attractions. California natives and visitors alike will discover new places and facts from the feathered hosts' guided tour, rich in historical and cultural opportunities. Readers may recognize Anaheim, the city of kindness, but do they know about the annual ugly dog contest in Petaluma? Fans of animals and nature will learn about state symbols and the diversity of California's wildlife. Beginning readers can practice the alphabet as they search for Milo and discover what lies beyond their backyard fence. Combined with Josie Toney's mixed-media illustrations and expressive creatures, Chris Jespersen's lively verse makes for a fun and interactive read-aloud for the whole family. California ABC's is a romp for young travelers and explorers.
