[E & E’s Mama · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wanted a Colorado souvenir book we’d enjoy reading and remembering areas in Colorado. This one is fun because the text follows the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat. The illustrations are cute and it mentioned the Rocky Mountains NP, which we visited during our trip. I wish it also mentioned the Denver Zoo, Red Rocks, or Boulder (all places we visited), but Colorado has too many awesome places to mention them all in a board book, I guess!
