Wow! City! (Wow! Picture Book, A)
PreS–A toddler who has been raised in the mountains takes a trip with her father to the city. Perched in a backpack on her daddy's shoulders, Izzy observes the teeming urban scenes that swirl around them. Each enormous double-page illustration is accompanied by a "Wow!" and a one-word description of the location ("Wow! Tunnel!" or "Wow! Museum!"). Drawn in India ink and vividly colored on a Macintosh computer using Adobe Photoshop, the illustrations are full of life, action, and detail, with people of every description, animals, vehicles, and excitement everywhere. Young children will pore over the busy pictures, and will also have fun finding Izzy and her dad in the crowd. This bookalso works well as a read-aloud for very young listeners who will join in on the "Wows!"–Jane Barrer, Washington Square Village Creative Steps, New York CityCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
