A girl and her nana take the streetcar to City Park in New Orleans for a big day on the carousel. The "flying horses" are not only beautiful and exciting but have an interesting story behind them. This charming picture book brings both the thrill and the history of this beloved icon of the Crescent City to life for young readers.
City Park and this carousel were a beautiful part of my childhood. My grandmother first took me there and we went every summer, even when we were ‘too big’ to go on little kid rides. My children rode theses horses with their grandmother and I’ve been blessed to do so with one of mine. Loved the pictures.
