Top Chicago Attractions and the Baby Books to Pair with Them
Book Pairings with Chicago Attractions
During our parental leave, we took our son to as many Chicago attractions as we could, often taking advantage of the free days for Illinois residents. Starting from birth, we would read him related books before taking him to each place. Here are some of the books we read him (and some we still want to add to our library.)
