More Kids Books -- This Time for Philadelphia
Planning a trip to Philadelphia with children in tow? Don't forget to pack some books about this historic city for your kids to read on the way. Reading will help familiarize your children with the sites they will see -- and keep them busy while you are traveling, too. We compiled the following list of favorites in honor of Children's Book Week, but they are worth a stop at the bookstore or library any time!
