In this companion to the best-selling Larry Gets Lost in Chicago, the dog, Larry, and his owner, Pete, take an alphabetical journey through the Windy City.

    With Larry, the lovable (if easily distracted) pup, as the tour guide and vibrant retro illustrations by creator John Skewes, the Larry Gets Lost series offers fun and family-friendly travelogues to famous cities including New York City; San Francisco; Washington, DC; and Seattle--complete with information on each city's landmarks and cultural attractions.
    “Walks us through the streets of Chicago and the alphabet all at the same time.”
