It's Pablo's first day at his new school. He's picked a great day to start because his class are going on a field trip to the Empire State Building! To get there, Pablo's class will have to take the subway. But when Pablo accidentally takes the wrong train, can he rely on what little knowledge of the subway routes he has in order to reunite with his classmates at 350 5th Avenue?
Toon Graphics has done it again with this exciting look at the Big Apple. I learned a lot about the subway from this book by Nadja Spiegelman, like why there's both routes with letters and numbers. Add some very detailed artwork by Spanish illustrator Sergio Garcia Sanchez, this book is like an educational Where's Waldo?
If the name Nadja Spiegelman sounds familiar, it's cause it does. The author of Lost in NYC is the daughter of legendary writer/artist Art Spiegelman (Maus.) She clearly has inherited some of Papa's writing talents.
Usually a Toon Graphics book has 2-4 pages of fun facts, activities, and other fun stuff. Lost in NYC has no less than 10 pages! Are you and your little ones planning on a trip to the Big Apple? If so, this is the perfect book to get them properly acclimated to the city's most used method of transportation. It will make that trip so much more fun and memorable.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
