4.0 out of 5 stars
nice guide to Manhattan,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kid's Guide to New York City (Kid's Guides Series) (Paperback)
We recently visited Manhattan and used this book (among others). It was well written and informative. It covered highlights rather than being comprehensive, but we did get good information. Chapters cover: NYC's neighborhoods, Times Square, must-see sights, museums, parks and zoos, cultural venues, sports, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, eating and shopping. Easy to read print and boldface information make the guide easy to use, and tips often include web addresses, which was handy. Nice guide.

A FUN BOOK WITH GREAT IDEAS,
By
This review is from: The Kid's Guide to New York City (Kid's Guides Series) (Paperback)
Whether you want to go to a Yankees game in the summer or skate at Rockefeller Center in the winter, you'll find great leads in this portable book. New York City can be overwhelming, but this guidebook is accessible, handy, inspiring, and fun. There's even room for your kids to write down their impressions.
Carol Weston, author of MELANIE IN MANHATTAN (a New York novel for girls 7 to 13)
