(2) PS In this follow-up to ABC Pop!, Isadora's pop-art, mostly Lichtenstein-inspired illustrations capture the sights and sounds of the city--specifically, New York City--from morning to night. The artist focuses on details that will be especially familiar to urban children: the blare of rush-hour traffic, the barked greetings of dogs on leashes, the cooing of Central Park pigeons, and the screetch of braking subway cars.
