This isn't a book about Magic, although there's a wonderful magic shop in Monterey, California, as you can see by this book's cover. What is magical about Monterey is actually the city of Monterey, where kids can have fun just experiencing this place! And a kid's parents don't have to spend a lot of money just to have a fun family time. There are sea otters, seals and sea lions that you can see in the wild, and sea gulls, pelicans and all sorts of birds! There is so much to see that you can't believe your eyes, because Monterey is a magical place! You can visit the Monterey Aquarium as well. Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, with photographs by John D. Weigand, this book is meant to awaken the senses and the imagination. See if you can imagine you are a bird sitting on a rock, and then pretend you are a bird flying through an orange sky. And while you are busy looking at the photographs and imagining these things, practice your reading skills, because this is a learn to read book with word repetition, word recognition and rhyme. Shout out what you think is coming next in this book, laugh and enjoy everything you see.
