A perfect book to share with a child before visiting New York City. Mr. Brown shares many interesting places to visit plus many statistics (Did you know that there are more than 13,000 taxis in NYC?). Even the end pages contain fascinating facts about the city.
I really like how large the book is and how he created a mini directory of places to visit, shop and eat and even how to "get around" (includes phone numbers, addresses and web addresses).
My four year old and I loved the subway cross section and the map of Central Park.
*Highly recommend.
Strategy: Connections (any book that takes place in NYC-good for background building-The Fudge books by Judy Blume, The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil . .etc.)
