This is Larry. This is Pete. They like looking for letters as they walk down the street.
Following the best-selling Larry Gets Lost
in Portland, Larry the dog and his pal Pete are back in
Bridgetown in Portland ABC (Sasquatch Books; March
2013; $14.99). From A for Art Museum to Z for Zoo, the
best friends explore highlights of Portland—K is for
kayaking under the St. Johns Bridge, P is for Powell’s
Books, and V is for Voodoo Doughnut. Among other
sights, Larry and Pete see a fish sticking out of a building,
a lumberjack, and a sign with a big white stag!
Portland ABC is a must-have for youngsters visiting
or living near the City of Roses or for Larry fans. John Skewes brings the city to life with highly
stylized illustrations featuring bold swashes of color, making each page a work of art.
With Larry, the lovable (if easily distracted) pup, as the tour guide, and with vibrant, retro-
inspired illustrations by series creator John Skewes, the LARRY GETS LOST series offers fun and
family-friendly travelogues covering the landmarks and cultural attractions of famous cities and states.
