About the Book
All aboard this alliterative alphabetical adventure before bedtime.

It is a book that reminds us of the incomparable beauty of Lake Tahoe. The places we have been, and want to visit. The animals that we have seen, and hope to see. And, the winter and summer activities that we have done, and dream of doing.
