Welcome to My New York! Sumptuous, eye-catching paintings full of vitality and elaborate detail bring the city to life as a young girl takes readers on a pictorial tour of all her favorite places - from the towering Empire State Building to the Apollo Theater in Harlem. We meet her favorite animals at the Central Park Zoo, experience the sights and sounds of Chinatown at night, visit the Museum of Natural History -- where a giant barosaurus stands fifty feet high and longer than a city bus -- and watch the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center go up … and up!
In this new edition, the artist has added several of the city's unforgettable holiday scenes, including the Fourth of July fireworks over the harbor, the halloween parade in Greenwich Village, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square. Dramatic foldout pages, a map of all the sights, plus fun facts and reader challenges at the end make this book both informative and entertaining.
Kathy Jakobsen's richly detailed paintings are alive with activity, just like the city itself. Her unusual childlike perspective and exuberant enthusiasm for New York make this book a glorious celebration of the city that never sleeps.
