From Booklist
Ages 4-8. Pipes and power lines; trains and tunnels; music and jazz clubs; even crocodiles and elephants--the world beneath New York City's streets comes alive in this poetic, richly illustrated picture book. High, author of Barn Savers (Booklist's 1999 Top of the List Youth Picture Book), introduces her subterranean setting in brief phrases that pulse with energy: "Below offices and theaters and stores, there are miles of pipes and wires, yellow and orange, pink and red and black, carrying light and heat to the city above." Rayevsky's captivating, split-level illustrations show above and below ground in humorous, detailed collages that combine photos with brushy, elegant ink sketches reminiscent of Chris Raschka's work. Pair this with other lyrical urban views, such as Christopher Myers' Black Cat (1999) and Robert Burleigh's Messenger, Messenger [BKL My 15 00]. Gillian Engberg

From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-Subway musicians, sidewalk break dancing, mounted police officers, hot dog vendors, yellow taxicabs, and pigeons are all celebrated in this stylized overview of life in the Big Apple. Double-page spreads feature cleverly split illustrations that depict life both above and below the ground. For example, Rockefeller Center's skating rink provides a roof for the shops below, and a street busy with cars and trucks sits atop an equally active subway platform. Each illustration is accompanied by five lines of rhythmic text that begin with the words "Under New York," and go on to describe that particular scene. Tidbits of history and curious facts of present-day life add to the adventure. Readers learn that in 1935, the New York Times reported the presence of an alligator underground, and that the Lincoln Tunnel serves as an entryway for elephants headed to perform at Madison Square Garden. While the illustrations are most often rendered in dark shades of grays, greens, and browns with heavy black outlines, they are never dismal. Rather, they capture the city's energy with remarkable ease. Notes from both the author and illustrator reflect infectious enthusiasm for a work worth noting.-Alicia Eames, New York City Public Schools

creative and beautiful

I find the idea of showing what is below the surface of New York very innovative. For instance the book shows Central Park on the top of the page, and at the bottom it shows the tunnels below the park through which elephants transit to go to a circus, I found it very interesting.
I bought the book for my child and he loves it because he likes hide and seek. The drawings are in the style of the cover.

A Look, Perchance?
9. Mai 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book has received excellent reviews -- most recently in the newsmagazine The Week. But I won't buy a book where the seller won't let me see at least a small excerpt. I imagine a growing number of buyers are feeling this way. Want to increase sales? Provide excerpts.
