false 3416523 1 A picture book for city lovers everywhere! Vibrant illustrations and a spare text come together in this striking picture book to tell the story of the building of Manhattan. There was a time when the city was little more than an undeveloped island. But as the small patch of land shifted from Native American to Dutch to English to American hands, it was built, layer on top of layer, into the bustling metropolis it is today.<p> With illustrations so detailed that one look just won’t be enough, this book explores the city’s many layers and shows they’re still visible, as long as you know where to look! A time line and bibliography are included. 3456866 15 5 2008 Building Manhattan total:23|5:6|4:8|3:8|2:1|1:0| 23 88 36 8 4 1 false false Thu Sep 04 19:48:10 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 19:50:26 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 20:42:29 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 20:44:15 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 13:32:16 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 13:32:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Oct 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 14:05:24 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 14:16:52 -0700 2008 Betsy's review and my comment to see why I could not bring myself to actually rate this book.
