My Son's Favorite

Every child should own this book...it immediately bacame my son's favorite and we read it virtually every night. We now have two copies...one for our son and one as a coffee table book. Wow City! along with Wow America, Beasty Bath and Courage of the Blue Boy are now my standard new baby gifts. I'll buy any new book Robert Neubecker puts out - he's an amazing talent!!!

Vibrant, exciting, and fun

This extra-large book has just two words on every page, but so much going on in the pictures that you can pore over it with your baby, toddler, or preschooler as long as you like. Our six-month-old boy enjoys it just as much as our three-and-a-half-year-old girl. Really worth the investment, you can tell that a ton of energy and love went into making this book.

Wonderful! We could not put this book down and our grandchildren are hooked. Izzie is our new hero! We can't wait to see where she leads us next.

Wow is right!

This is a great book for even the littlest (2 or so). If they have ever been to a city, they will recognize their favorite things here: fire engines, taxis, tall buildings. The repetitive text and clear "star" of each 2-page spread make it fun for beginning readers or a larger group of kids to guess what might be a difficult word (e.g. building). And there are lots of details to pore over one-on-one. This book really captures the excitement of a busy, vibrant city in a joyful, childlike way.

WOW! FUN!

Glorious, colorful - incredibly visually interesting. My 13-month old loves looking at all of the pictures, and works diligently to fund the "doggy" in each one! Lots of fun for adults, too. I see something new every time we read it....highly recommended for any (and ALL) ages!
