N Is for New York City, by Adina Oberman, Volha Kaliaha (illustrator)

 

Publication August 1, 2024

Even though I've never been to NYC, I found myself nodding in approval at each letter choice. They're largely easily identifiable with the city and the illustrations used matched them perfectly. I don't want to give away the choices, albeit the cover gives some big hints. Oh, okay, we've all heard of the Yankees, so there's the "Y". The "Z" was a pretty cool choice, too, and so NYC. I liked the diversity, variation, and use of color. Little reading aside from the matching word(s) for each letter, so an easy, fun one to skim through, then go back through time and time again. If you're planning a trip to NYC, this would be a great preview, I'd say. Fun filled and captures the city nicely. Thanks #NetGalley and #Familius for this early peek at the city that truly seems never to sleep.
