Illustrated by
Pat Cummings.
From A to Z, rhythm and alliteration effectively describe the joys of a city. The rhyming text is accompanied by highly detailed illustrations in glowing neon colors, depicting a pristine New York City. Additional items that start with the featured letter fill each page, and these are carefully listed at the back of the book. Both the text and the art create a finding game in this cleverly conceived book.
