My Review:
The Adventures of Lefty and Righty: The Windy City is an amusing and informative rhyming picture book following two adventurous socks as they tour around the city of Chicago. At the sight of a ticket to a White Sox game, Lefty and Righty decide that this is the event that they, as white socks, must attend. On their way to the stadium, they take a fun ride on the train, share a Chicago-style hot dog with tons of toppings except ketchup, cruise through the river on a water taxi, get a bird's eye view from the top of Navy Pier's first Ferris wheel, and a lot more! Will they enjoy the game and make it back home before mom finds out?
Through comical characters and intriguing illustrations, the story presents a creative explanation for the whereabouts of missing socks, along with an engaging introduction to the landmarks and attractions of the Windy City. All the fun activities Lefty and Righty have and all the Instagram-worthy selfies they take to capture their happy moments make the reader want to visit and learn more about this charming city. Each of the FUN FACTS found in the back matter corresponds to a word or phrase highlighted in red and all caps in the main text, providing further information related to history, culture, special features and more. These fun facts not only help young readers understand the story better, but also motivate them to go back to it over and over again.
Whether you've been to Chicago or not, you are likely to learn something new about the city from Lefty and Righty's adventure. The book is enjoyable and educational for both young and older readers.
