BR 2-18: Washington D.C.

The weather in Washington can be very hot in the summer and very cold in winter. (p.18) 

I picked this book because I wanted to know about Washington. I also thought it would be easy to read because the story was separated into some section. Washington is the capital of the United States, so the city is important in the U.S. If you read the book, you will be able to get a lot of information about Washington. I could know buildings, monuments, memorials, entertainment, and so on. Washington also has many shopping and eating spaces. I have never been to Washington, so I want to go there! I also think I want to know a lot of the cities of the United States.
