Just about all of Manhattan's child-pleasing sites get a place in Brown's stupendously detailed gouache and watercolor pictures showing a little boy and his father touring NYC. The text is minimal but inviting ("wherever you walk in New York, you'll see a great parade of people passing by"); endpapers offer additional vignettes and facts. Appended information includes phone numbers and websites for the highlights.
