This delightful new picture book takes us on a tour all across Dublin. Each page features a different location; the Dublin Zoo, down by the River Liffey, traveling on the Dart, visiting a school or a museum; all depicted in wonderfully detailed, whimsical illustrations with bright colours and brilliant expression. There's even a visit into the past! But more than just an adventure to explore all the places in Ireland's capital city, the reader will pick up new words in English and as Gaeilge. There's so much fun! So much to see and do! ... This book is an absolute joy, packed full of excitement and absolutely perfect for little ones (and big ones) just learning to speak Irish.
