Count to ten in this adorable, rhyming counting book featuring New York City. It is so cute! The illustrations include everything from the Empire State Building to bagels.
This book will probably be loved as much by adults as by the kids for whom it is intended. It offers a fun (and sometimes funny) glimpse of the city.

"The newest city in the Let's Count Regional Board Books, this bold, sassy, and rhyming introduction to NYC, numbers, and colors is perfect for locals, visitors, and wannabe visitors from two to five years old. Check out standard tourist attractions like the Empire State Building, Thanksgiving Day parade, and One World Trade. Take a ride on the subway or hop in a cab, but remember to wave thanks to the cops directing traffic. Enjoy a slice (of pizza) or a bagel “with shmear and lox.” Appreciate the city’s diverse culture and citizenry — all while counting from one to ten. This approximately eight-inch square board book is perfect for some snuggling time to inspect and discuss what NYC is all about. Each spread is devoted to one number and event. The description is usually less than ten well-chosen words long and the rhythm and rhyme, for the most part, flow naturally. The illustrations in slightly grayed colors are still rich with color and action. The Empire State Building is silver and shimmering like ice. The jazz musicians with their golden trumpets are obviously into their music. White dogs bark and play around a fountain in a park. The last picture, of five pedestrians shown only from the knees down, creates a rainbow of ten sneakers and ends the book with a burst of color and a reminder of the city’s vibrant diversity."
