Illustrated by
John O'Brien.
This advanced alphabet book identifies and describes people, buildings, sites, and activities associated with the nation's capital. Several examples are given for each letter: L is for Library of Congress, L'Enfant, Lobby, and Lincoln Memorial. Zany, stylized ink and watercolor drawings add interest and humor to the cleverly written narrative full of intriguing facts. Endpapers feature a map of the city's main sites for reference.
