Need a cute gift for a little one? How about this 5″ x 5″ board book that’s all about L.A.? It’s called “Los Angeles 1 to Ten,” written by Sara Beth Greene and illustrated by Jimmy Thompson. It’s lightweight with easy-to-turn pages that cleverly depict 10 iconic locales or characteristics of the city.

Library and Vroom Vroom Bitsy Boo in Highland Park, among many other locations. Here are a few sample pages (when you read the whole thing in order, the text rhymes):
