Product Description
First published to critical raves and spectacular sales ten years ago, this extraordinary celebration of New York City is now revised and expanded in a bigger format, with over 75% brand-new or updated paintings, including Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, and the New York Public Library. With a young girl guiding them to all her favorite places, readers are treated to a stunning, kid's-eye view of New York City. Full of details to pore over again and again, these paintings almost burst off the page. Seven oversized fold-out pages featuring the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History, and Rockefeller Center at Christmastime add to the fun, while a map in the front and fun facts in the back make this a helpful guidebook as well. A free greeting card is included with the holiday edition. My New York is a stunning visual celebration of one of the world's most fabled cities and is sure to be treasured by New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers, and young and old alike.

 Wonderful Pictures! July 26, 2008
The idea of the story is very cute. A letter is written to a friend that will be coming to NYC. The pictures, though, are wonderful. The are very colorful and take you all over the city. Love this book!
You're Cool Enough to Read this Book!!! December 12, 2007
By PHIL
I'm happy I read this book because there are many cool things in this book. It explains all the cool things that you can do in New York City. It has the whispering room in Grand Central Station. You whisper into one corner and someone whispers at the other and you can hear each other.
And lots of things like that. It is mostly for kids 7-11 years old but adult tourists will like it to.
...Story Board...
It's about a girl that made an agreement with her mom to go on trips every weekend. The girl's name is Becky. She and her mom go to places that are fun in New York.
On one trip they go to Radio City Music Hall to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Her friend Martin comes with her. In the book, she describes how the orchestra rises out of the floor in the beginning and then goes back in. I went to this show with my parents and this really does happen!
They also go to the New York Public Library, Central Park Zoo, the Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, Times Square and other cool places.
I recommend this book to any tourist trying to find fun stuff to do when visiting New York City.
This Book Is So Darn Cool!!!
 Overseas cousins LOVE it! July 6, 2007
Bought this for my little cousins overseas to help them understand where we live. Apperently their mother likes it more than them! Now they know where I'm talking about when i say we went to Central park today or the zoo. i'll be buying more for my friends children as gifts. Great book.

The pictures are colorful, very detailed, and are a lot of fun to look at. It's narrated by a little girl who's venturing the famous sites of NYC. I had fun reading it and I'm
sure kids will like it. I got the new anniversary edition. I really recommend it. NYC may change years from now. This book captures and reminisces our exciting city during our time...2002.

I thought that this was an excellent book. The pictures are great. I read it to my kids before visiting New York and after reading the book my kids could not wait to see all of the places that we read about. My daughter was especially thrilled to ride the same horse on the central park carousel that the little girl in the book rode.
