Product Description
Written by a local author, this book includes activities, events, places to go, and lots of fun maps and illustrations that kids can color. It also recommends places to go in Boston, like Paul Revere's house, the site of the Salem witch trials, or a whale-watching cruise with a chance to see humpback whales up close.

Great Resource for Kids and Adults June 25, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful resource for planning excursions in Boston and the environs with children. The entries on sites of interest are full of great information, and the prose is clear and accessible to young readers. The format, including photos and activities, encourages children to help with planning trips and teaches them a thing or two about the city in the bargain. Besides using this book to guide kids around the city, I have given it to visiting relatives and local children (and to some folks who have moved away and wanted their kids to know what they were missing.) All have loved it. Enthusiastically recommended!
Great Boston info June 24, 2004

I was really pleased to come across this book. Living near Boston, I sometimes need ideas for showing visiting family or friends around the city. Kidding Around Boston is full of great ideas and information about Boston's history and lore. The style is clear and engaging, and the young people I've shown it to have enjoyed it. It's terrific for visitors, but I think it might be equally useful in classrooms as an ancillary book for independent reading.
