Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-25 00:00:00 Beverly Hartman Copyright-2005 Number of Pages-56 Book Format-Hardcover Reading Level-K-3rd grade Genre- Children's picture book Lit Requirement- alphabet book 3 Summary- ABC NYC: A Book About Seeing New York City takes you on an adventure of things you would see in the city based on a letter in the alphabet. Each page has a picture(s) to help enhance understanding of what the sentences are saying. (ex. "C is for Chrysler Building. It sparkles silver on a sunny day." and has a picture of the Chrysler Building on the page next to the letter.) Response- I liked this book because I am very interested in New York. There may be some students who are interested in, or who are from New York that would probably enjoy this book, too. The sentences are kind of small and hard to find. It is a picture book so the pictures are meant to be big, but it may be hard for younger children to locate the sentences and read about what they are looking at.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-16 00:00:00 Andrew Dobos An ABC book Sesame Street style, illustrated with photographs. The letters are found in signs throughout the city. Some of these photos are color and some black and white. The pictures to illustrate that letter are about things found in NYC. These photos are all black and white. There's a short sentence about each letter. Some things (like "M" is for Manhole Cover and "S" is for Subway) will work for most big urban areas. Others (like "C" is for Chrysler Building and "F" is for Flatiron Building) are very very NYC specific.
