Publisher's Synopsis
There is no place on earth quite like New York, and quite contrary to popular belief (and although sworn to secrecy by a certain fire fighter not to tell for fear it would ruin New York's 'unfriendly reputation') New Yorkers are just about the friendliest people on earth! Everything in New York is exciting and exhilarating, from trips on the metro to riding the Staten Island Ferry to get pizza and homemade spumoni on Staten Island, New York is just plain fun. You can feel the energy, the hope and the American dream that is New York; and you can celebrate New York and all it is with your children with this delightful little book. Use this book as a remembrance of a trip or as an introduction to this wonderful city! If you think New York is simply not for kids, then you are wrong. You can visit Fao Schwarz next to central park, have a picnic in the park, ride a horse drawn carriage and visit Madame Tussauds' wax museum filled with characters that stepped right out of the pages of history. And don't forget that Lady Liberty is there waiting to be seen! The possibilities are endless. Photography by John D. Weigand taken (taken with available light only) accompanied by the fun kid's poetry of award winning author Penelope Dyan, make this book a must have to your collection of Bellissima books meant for kids that look great on your coffee table!
