MY THOUGHTS:I received this book in exchange for my honest review。You ever want to go to New York？ My mom went four times and each time was a different experience， or so she says。 This book is like a tourist map for kids who want to go to New York。Using one-dimensional illustrations， the author first takes us to Brooklyn and introduces some of the key tourist sites there such as: the Brooklyn Bridge that stretches between Manhattan and Brooklyn。 It tells us that more people live in Brooklyn than MY THOUGHTS:I received this book in exchange for my honest review。You ever want to go to New York？ My mom went four times and each time was a different experience， or so she says。 This book is like a tourist map for kids who want to go to New York。Using one-dimensional illustrations， the author first takes us to Brooklyn and introduces some of the key tourist sites there such as: the Brooklyn Bridge that stretches between Manhattan and Brooklyn。 It tells us that more people live in Brooklyn than any other place in New York。 There are shops and an amusement park in Brooklyn。 Next， you see other things to spot while touring Brooklyn， like the Brooklyn Academy of Music。 There's water taxis to get you about too。Next you learn about a great place to skate under a huge Christmas Tree during the Christmas season。 There's other places to go where you can catch a great show， like at the Rockefeller Center。 This is known for their cheesecake and the view from the top of the Rock observation deck。 The Rockettes， a famous chorus line， is featured here， as well as the Museum of Modern Art。 Make sure you visit the Radio City Music Hall before you leave。Did the cheesecake make you hungry？ Well head next to Chinatown。 You can shop at the local market， visit nearby delis。 Immigrants created many vibrant neighborhoods in New York， like Little Italy。 From dim sun to cannoli， the food here is sure to please。 Take a moment and have a game of mah-jonngg with one of the locals and before leaving make sure you see the Tenement Museum。Did you know that this is where the Empire State Building is located？ Take a helicopter ride and check it out while heading over to Madison Square Garden。 Sports like hockey and basketball are a couple of the favorites。 You'll also see things like Peregrine falcons， the Flatiron Building， Koreatown and let's not forget the coffee or bibimbap。Greenwich Village is where to go to see artists and performers lining the streets to show off their talents。 Did you know there's a high line which was once an old train line above the city that's now been converted into a walkway with grass and trees？ Nearby Chelsea holds many delights like cafes， galleries and markets for you to explore。 Grand Central Terminal is next。 This landmark has been seen in many television shows and movies。 Thousands of people rush through to get on trains every day。 If you don't like the trains， then there's always the subways。 Nearby， you can visit the New York Public Library， Bryant Park， United Nations Headquarters and more。 Jazz music can be found in Harlem， and you can catch a show at the Apollo Theater。 Want something quieter， then take a walk through El Museo del Barrio， take in the local murals， or visit the Cloisters。 There's lots of yummy foods to experience too。Museums and galleries are what many visit New York to see。 There's a lot of them like the Whitney Museum of American Art， The Metropolitan Museum of Art， The Blue Whale Model， The American Museum of Natural History， and， Solomon R， Guggenheim Museum。 You may think that's all， but the book then takes you to Queens and of course， the New York Mets Baseball team， horse racing and don't forget tennis。 Lots and lots of ethnic restaurants to sample all types of food。 Enjoy the parks like Flushing Meadows Corona Park， and don't forget to stop off at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge。You can't talk about New York and not mention Central Park， Bow Bridge， the carousel， model boat racing， Belvedere Castle and the famous Alice In Wonderland Statue。 Let's not forget the reputable zoo， Bethesda Fountain and the Strawberry Fields。 Try a warm， yummy pretzel。 MMMMMMShopping。。。。 So much shopping and so little time。。。Sight-seeing。。。 can we say Statue of Liberty？ How about Staten Island Ferry， Ellis Island， Governor's Island and the National Museum of the American Indian。 You've seen the Bronx Zoo on television， right？ Well， how about seeing it in person？ In the north of New York， you can along with the home of the world-famous Yankees baseball team。 Don't forget the New York Botanical Garden and make sure you try the hot dogs， and home made donuts while watching a street dancer。When you hit the heart of the city， you'll be in the Financial District which means the New York Stock Exchange。 Also there is the Woolworth building， the charging bull statue， the Winter Garden Atrium and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum。Finally， you need to see Times Square and Broadway！ Street performers will entertain， venders will sell， and the shows！ Make sure you go to the Lincoln Center before leaving。All this and more is offered in this oversized book！ I loved it all and this is great for school libraries for kids to dream！ 。。。more

A big， big book for a big city。 Everything highlighted is something anyone， especially young readers， would notice when visiting New York。 So this is a great place to start before any visit or when learning in depth about one of the most famous cities in the world。
