Toddler-PreS–New York natives and those who have never visited the city will enjoy this counting book. Each spread features an iconic aspect of New York City, from bagels and pigeons to pizza slices and hot dog carts, making it enjoyable for everyone. The clear digital illustrations make this appealing even to the youngest children.

VERDICT For collections low on board book counting titles, this suits, otherwise it’s a supplemental purchase for most libraries.
