New York City has never been more whimsical than in this visual narrative that uses wire-art sculptures to explore the Big Apple. Everything starts with a paper clip that unfolds to create some of New York's most famous symbols, including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Empire State Building. A lively text accompanies the striking visuals, and six pages of information chronicle everything needed to know about the included attractions and landmarks.

"A dynamic book ... End materials offer notes on Rojas's process as well as background on the featured elements to round out this homage to the city." --Publishers Weekly "The text is minimal, letting the pictures largely speak for themselves--until the end of the book. A fun-fact-packed section details everything." -- Time Out New York Kids " Wow! New York City artfully creates NYC landmarks out of paper clips (paper clips!) and will be as much of a hit with parents as it is with kids. At the end of the book, landmarks are described in more detail." --www.BabyMeetsCity.com "A fun, creative, contemporary book inviting kids age 4-8 to explore the wonders of New York City." -- Midwest Reviews "I definitely learned a thing or two from this book!" -- Kids Konnection "A wonderful book that is imaginative and entertaining to read." --Mogul Baby "This book has really incredible and original art ...The text itself is very simple -- easily digested for any preschooler, but I think that the artwork will appeal to much older readers as well." --5 Minutes for Books "We LOVED this book. The imagination that went into this book is fantastic." --Cindy's Love of Books
