This book is actually part of the "Good Night" series, but I chose California for "C."
Adam Gamble, creates board books for most states, major cities and even the world. Each book covers specific landmarks that are memorable that area- a great way to teach geography. As a parent, I used board books with my own small children because of durability. After attending The Reading and Writing Project at Columbia, I totally brought board books in my first grade classroom....I thought the children would shy from "baby books," but they have a brand new love for these books from their first years...and now used to master reading.
In Good Night California, you travel from the Pacific, to Yosemite-(my favorite as I have climbed Half Dome,) to the Redwoods and Golden Gate to farm lands and zoos.
No matter where you live, there is most likely a book like this for you....or where you plan to travel...or for the little one you want to share the love of books with.

travel books for kids, great idea.
I too used board books often with my little ones...they are now teens and bigger than me now...blessings! I too cannot believe it has been a year since we "met".
I would love this for traveling! What a great idea for a series. :)
So happy to have met you last year. ☺
Being a native California girl, I think it's awesome that a book like this exists!
I love learning geography, and these sort of books are so valuable!
Keep Calm and A-Z
An A-Z of learning English
Round the world from A to Z
If you love Yosemite and travel books I recommend Steve Riley and his books about his character Little Ty Cooney.
Sounds like a fun book! I have never been to Yosemite but I love CA.
I'm glad to see from your comment on my blog that it's been a year since we became blogging buddies through A to Z. So Happy Anniversary!
I'm sure I never knew about the geographical aspect of the Good Night book/series. But whenever I visit bookstores at tourist towns, I have seen children's books that do sort of the same thing focusing on the local history.
