'Traveling with Kids' syndicated-columnist Ogintz provides a fascinating, kid-focused view of Chicago and the myriad of experiences available there. With enthusiasm, the text relates the energy of this great city, and it is aided visually by a blend of colorful graphics, breakout boxes with interesting facts, text-bubble quotes from children, and puzzles to solve. Information is targeted to children but gives adults a view of what to expect at each venue. Neighborhoods are covered in some detail, and major festivals are listed by month, with outdoor activities highlighted throughout. Souvenirs are discussed in several areas, allowing children to consider how to spend their limited cash. Addresses, websites, and phone numbers are provided for attractions and restaurants. A 'Tell the Adults' section in every chapter provides extra ideas for enjoying the neighborhoods and exploring the areas beyond Chicago as well as tips to make traveling with children more fun. A table of contents and a detailed index provide quick access to information.
