When we teach the alphabet, we often announce that C is for cow or D is for duck. As if every one of our little 21st-century kids had a barnyard out back for easy reference. Sure, they can make the noises early on, and they delight as we did as kids in stories about life on a farm. But perhaps it might make more sense to give them an entry into the alphabet by starting with things they actually know and see in their daily lives. Well, if your little one is lucky enough to have New York City as his or her very own barnyard - or even if your much more suburban kid has even a passing awareness of, say, traffic, Chinese food or bagels - this is the perfect book for you. Written by a mom who wished to show her son some alphabet references a bit closer to home, and who by chance was amazingly talented as a photographer, this book is a treasure. It just rings true that B is for bagel and M is for manhole cover. And isn't the idea of a whole generation of budding architecture critics learning that F is for Flatiron Building is just beyond charming?
