Every day, Lisa and Uncle Harrison go sightseeing. The Statue of Liberty. The Brooklyn Bridge. The Flatiron Building. Skyscrapers. Central Park. And so much more. Which one will be Lisa’s favorite? And what souvenir will she choose for Gaspard? Lisa is having a wonderful time until Uncle Harrison disappears.
But what will happen to Lisa now?
Full-color paintings create bright, captivating illustrations for this charming tale. Celebrating all that is Manhattan, its city landscape includes the twin towers of the World Trade Center, an unexpected and heartrending reminder of simpler days gone by.
Young readers, especially those who are fans of the Lisa and Gaspard series of books, will find much to enjoy in this delightful book. There’s an unexpected safety lesson within the story for the targeted audience [readers ages three through seven]. When Lisa is lost, she knows exactly what to do . . . and after reading this story, the young child will know, too.
Highly recommended. ( )
