Description

The Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Union Square, Chinatown--these are just a sampling of the San Francisco landmarks featured in this magical journey around the fabled city by the bay. Each famous location is brought vividly to life by fanciful collage illustrations that sparkle with the same color and action found in the city itself. The lively text is accompanied by a "Fun Facts" section and "Explorer's Guide" at the back of the book, making this perfect for residents and visitors alike.
