Wow! New York City

"Can you build a city with a paper clip? Let's use our imagination..." invites this dynamic book. What appears to be a single paper clip (actually lots of copper wire) is shaped into outlines of the New York City skyline, a taxi, the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, popular New York snacks, and the Brooklyn Bridge (the glittering outlined images are colored in digitally). Text guides readers to each new sight: "Now let's walk and find something to eat. It's safe to cross! Look, a fire truck! Cool!" End materials offer notes on Rojas's process as well as background on the featured elements to round out this homage to the city. Ages 4–8. (Apr.)
