The book is interesting and my 21-month-old daughter loves looking at it. I am sure she doesn't quite get what New York city means yet, but it does show sights that are familiar to her. The text is minimal and pretty basic, so I wouldn't think this is a book for kids over 5. It starts the day with a visit to the Statue of Liberty, then to the UN with children playing in front of it, then police on horseback and a firetruck, then there is a page with NYC skyline and the Empire State Building up front, then Central Park, after that is the Bronx Zoo, the Public Library, a hot dog stand, musicals, and finally, everyone goes to bed in what looks like the Upper West Side with brownstone buildings.

We purchased this book for our 20 month old son and he loves it! He picks it out over and over again! Great book!

This book provides great pictures and a fun way to share a special city with my daughter. Some of the text is a bit silly, but overall I have enjoyed this book along with several others in the series.

I had bought other books of the serie (San Francisco, California...) so I bought that one too.

First, I would have liked a little bit more references to the new york buildings, museum, the wall street...but no...
Also, the drawings are computorized...many of the other books are hand drawn so I was a little disappointed by that too...

Overall, It is still a nice book, I just think they went with the easy way on that one...

A great way to teach children the key sites in NYC. I live in the city and my nephew in Oklahoma, so this is a great way for his parents to be able to show him where his uncle lives!

The Good Night... series are good books for young kids to read or to have read to them. It includes basic words and gets the kids interested in different travel locations.
