My husband and I went to Charleston in early April and loved it so much we want to bring the kids on the next trip. We thought this book would be a nice addition to their Easter baskets and get them excited about going in the Fall. Well unfortunately only the first quarter of the book is actually about Charleston and the rest is just information on South Carolina. It is a nice colorful book but not what we wanted. The title of the book is definitely misrepesented and deceiving. If you want a book about SC then this is a great book but if you want one about Charleston pick a different one.
We bought this for our 10 year old before visiting Charleston. It's a great book on facts and interesting information. It is not a story book nor does it have typical chapters. It's an easy to read book with short descriptions of areas and facts. Great book for "Did you know?" type conversations.
Dang It! This book came about a week too late. Lulu, Coco, and I spent 4 days nand 3 nights in Charleston over the long weekend. But it was still fun to read, and it will come in handy when we travel back to Charleston. One of my best friends from college moved to Charleston right after we moved to Columbia, so we'll be back to visit soon.This book of cool stuff tells a little bit about Charleston history, some of which we learned while we were there and some of which is new to us. For example, we learned this fact while touring the Charleston Harbor:The longest cable-stayed bridge in North America spans the mouth of the Cooper River at Charleston Harbor (page vii).We also saw sweetgrass baskets being made and we briefly visited Battery Park, both described in the book.My daughters and I laughed at what we called "poop pouches" on the back of the horses used for horse-driven carriages. The book describes them as diapers LOL! Evidently the author was on the same page we were on!We will definitely keep this book and refer back to it when we visit Charleston again. I like the way the book is divided out. It describes the history of Charleston, some fun facts about the city and how it was formed, it includes information about the state of South Carolina, plus it tells about current festivals and popular museums.
The content of the book was good, but the center pages of the book all started falling out on the first day we had the book, without even having used it.
All the books in this series were exactly the same except for a few words changed to fit the topic at hand. Totally not worth buying.
