Synopsis

The newest adventure in the Larry Gets Lost series of best-selling children's books (over 100,000 copies sold) highlights one adorable dog's adventures in Washington, DC.

Larry is a precocious pup who loves to go on vacation with his owner Pete and the family. In his latest adventure, they visit the nation's capital, Washington, DC, where Larry, as usual, gets separated from the family when he's lured away by the scent of something yummy! As he searches DC for Pete, Larry discovers the city's greatest landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Jefferson Memorial, the Smithsonian, the Beltway, the Supreme Court, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, among others. But will he find Pete and be reunited with the family? And most important of all, will he come snout-to-snout with the beloved First Dog? Filled with charming retro illustrations, the Larry Gets Lost in Washington, DC, is an educational and fun tour of our nation's capital.

Media Reviews
. . . the digital artwork is consistently dynamic and appealing. Nicely varied, the illustrations range from a bird's-eye view of the National Mall to a picture of the White House with tourists silhouetted against the green lawn. Older kids will learn from the descriptions of sites set within the illustrations, while younger ones will enjoy following the winding, dotted line that indicates Larry's path. This hybrid of fictional story and informational text is a useful addition to the Larry Gets Lost travel titles for the picture-book crowd.
Booklist

This is a book that reinforces learning and history and is a fun, unique story. Kids will be engaged and curious as they turn the pages to follow Larry and read the facts presented; they will not even realize how much they are learning! This reviewer loved the Get more out of this book section at the end, which suggests additional ways to use this book as a learning tool. The illustrations are colorful, detailed and realistic. Children will certainly spend hours reading, exploring and repeating all that they learn from this wonderfully engaging book.
