Add a sweater (and perhaps an umbrella) to your suitcase and pick up a copy of Kidding Around Portland: What to Do, Where to Go, and How to Have Fun in Portland. The kids can color their way to the City of Roses, to Portland’s “Roll-on Deodorant Building.” Author Deborah Cuyle will show young explorers where Portland gets its four nicknames and what pioneer children used instead of Frisbees!

And if Portland doesn’t fit your summer plans, you can find a Kidding Around book for almost any major city in America. Reviewed by Anna Claire Straughan.
