It’s fun to teach the colours with illustrations I find interesting.

This baby board book introduces your little one to a world cup of colors. There are many color primer books on the market, but this offers a unique presentation as it uses NYC as it's theme and background.

Such a fantastic journey through the Big City, highlighting each major landmark the Big Apple has to offer. I loved every gorgeous illustration and how each page featured a different, brilliant color.

2.5 stars. I thought the blue was more of a teal color for that page. My mom agreed. Great concept, cute book but just ok.

Jack borrowed this book from the Ashland Public Library. Dada read it to him before bed.

It features popular New York City landmarks and sites, each showcasing a different color. The illustrations are super cute and colorful (of course), and Jack loved flipping through the pages. He was especially into the colors yellow and orange.

Cute book to learn colors and the major attractions in the Big Apple. Great board book for little hands. Bright colors with whimsical pictures. I did think the blue was almost a greenish teal color.

This book is fun and colorful to children. It reveals all the exciting things in New York City that are big and eye catching. It takes you through the city while pointing out bright pictures that will keep the children asking questions.

A bright and colorful board book that introduces babies and toddlers to colors using iconic sites in New York City. An interesting book to add to preschool concept units that focus on cities around the world.

A fun little board book, giving the basics of New York! Over all I like this series...it is simple and fun and perfect for the toddler crowd!

[Stephanie Willing]

Lovely illustrations.

[Sherry Scheline]

Wonderful easy reader to teach colors. If you are planning a trip to New York and have little ones, this is great.

Pretty short, but cute

My four year old rated this. Apparently he is quite the critic. He said it was boring because it just showed buildings and people. I like this book so would give it a better rating.

I knew GuGu lived here without anyone even telling me! Because of that, two stars. Besides that this book was not that good.

As a mom I was disappointed. But we'll see if the star rating changes when he becomes old enough to express an opinion. I'll admit, the art is nice and bright and colorful, and pretty cute pictures of New York. But for instance next to this beautiful green artwork of the Statue of Liberty, it just says "GREEN Statue of Liberty". Blah.

Also I wasn't super impressed by their choice of things to represent the colors. Sure, green statue of liberty, yellow taxis, orange leaves in Central Park in the fall. But New Yorkers dressed in black? Really? Blue lights in Times Square? Red lights on the Empire State Building? Really, is that a thing? When I think of the Empire State Building, I don't think "oh yeah, that's where those RED lights are!!" Sooo I think they were stretching and probably could have come up with better things...

12/28/16 - a year later, he pulled this one off the shelf for bedtime. He's still too young for colors, but he did recognize "car" and "leaf" and the dog in Central Park. He flipped back and forth through the pictures, I think he liked the monochrome.

I love this book ... I am reading all four to my son and will more than likely buy them for him and for any and all upcoming baby shower gifts I need to buy! Love the illustrations and the culture added to each book!

[Elaine]

Love this "Hello, World" series that ties together traveling to different cities and learning basics like colors, numbers, shapes and opposites. Board books fit well in little hands and the illustrations are bright and whimsical.

[Nickel Pickle]

This book is ok. It shows me a few places in New York alongside different colors. It's good practice because I don't really know my colors yet, but the pictures aren't very excited. (Except the ones with cars in them.) I already knew all of those places from my other New York book.

I think the blue was more of a green in my eyes!
