This was a sparing poem about the layers of New York that revealed a lot of researchable topics with just enough information to keep the readers interest. This was a very enjoyable story, though the illustrations aren't really my favorite style. ( )

Genre: Informational
Age Appropriateness: Primary
Review: This picture book is a great example of an informational book becasue it gives various examples of the different aspects of life that take place under New York. It gives students a view that they likely have never experienced and opens them up to new ways of thinking. Because it is an informational book, there are not characters or even plot.
