This Big Apple ABC book takes the reader on a fact filled tour of America's largest and most diverse city. From Chinatown to Broadway to Central Park, the detailed illustrations and informative text invite the reader on a fascinating city tour without leaving the classeoom.

This book provided valuable background knowledge for other books whose setting is New York City. If you are reading Cricket in Time Square or perhaps a Judy Blume novel, using this book as a read aloud can build the schema necessary to understandd how the setting of New York City can be an integral part of the story, or even a character by itself.

Adorable, fact-filled way for kids to learn about the great NYC. I especially like the ethnic and cultural focus, as well as finding the little pigeon narrator on each page!
