My Little Cities: New York: (Travel Books for Toddlers, City Board Books)

I absolutely love this series as much as our one year old does. There are very few words so when we read it 50 times in a day it goes quick. The two main characters make for a cute little hide and seek game from page to page. I really love the nonfiction facts at the end of the book as well.

My friend who had a new born baby loved it!!

Using simple, lyrical language and modern illustrations, Jennifer Adams shows us the extremes you find in New York City. She brings us to the top of the Empire State Building and to the stone lions in front of the New York Public Library, to the bustle of the subway and captures the adventure of seeing the Statue of Liberty on a NYC ferry. We join an appreciative audience at a Broadway play and glow under the bright lights of Times Square. Adams captures the range of places and adventures that one can have in New York as one explores the City from Central Park to Yankee Stadium, to Coney Island and the Brooklyn Bridge whether by subway or ferry or yellow cab or by foot. The end of the book gives factual descriptions of the different places and items featured (Empire State Building, New York Public Library, the New York Subway, the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Times Square, Central Park, Yankee Stadium, Coney Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge).

I thought Jennifer's Baby Lit books were a perfect cooperation of text and art until I saw her collaboration with Greg Pizzoli. The My Little Cities is everything you want a board to be. No one will complain about having to read these aloud over and over again, clever, fun and well paced. The Little Cities are a great addition to the board book shelves.

My one year-old is in love with My Little Cities collection. The colorful illustrations will have your kids wanting to flip the pages for hours.

What's not to love here? I only wish we'd had this book when our family of seven lived in New York!

Adorable illustration with rhyming text. One of my fave cities!

Absolutely adorable.

Muy buen libro
