New York, New York!: The Big Apple from A to Z

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Frane Lessac. Engaging paintings, full of activity and detail, enliven this alphabet book, with its written-to-order rhyming verses. Captions in small print offer lots of facts about Manhattan's attractions and neighborhoods, but the information is too advanced for the ABC crowd. The other boroughs are almost entirely left out, though the Bronx sneaks in on the Z for zoo page.
