About the book...
This series debut book will have you smiling. I loved the humour, simplicity and just plain fun on every spread. The book highlights objects in a baby's world... then fastforwards... and compares them to the world of a savvy adult world in Brooklyn.
Building Blocks to the Brooklyn Bridge, Kindergarten to a Biergarten, Onesie to a Romper, A.B.C. to J.M.Z. and Dominoes to Domino Sugar Factory (just to name a few), will give you an idea of the delightful vibe the author so giftedly captures.
The vibrant playful graphics are a perfect marriage of baby babble and street slang. It is very, very kid-friendly and I highly recommend it. It is guaranteed to make you happy.
