Books with author Eleanor Akin Coalson

When young sisters Hannah and Emma learn they are moving to a new town outside of Chicago, they become a little apprehensive. After a few family excursions into the city via the CSX railroad, the girls quickly discover that Chicago is big, beautiful, educational, and fun. Author (and grandmother) Eleanor Akin Coalson chronicles the family's tour of the windy city in "Hannah and Emma go to Chicago (via CSX)." Beautifully illustrated by the author, this colorful travelogue is filled with trips to the zoo, aquarium and other exciting places. After the girls spend some time in Chicago, they soon learn that they really like their new home and moving is not always bad.
