Review

Cream of the Crop. The charm, specialness and joy of children is clearly illustrated in the book in clear, crisp photography. The lettering is large in black and colors. The photos are of children just being children on the streets of New York doing what they do, playing, sliding, digging, twirling. Very straightforward and uplifting. This book gives you the feeling that little kids are not really all that little and so it is fun to have such expressive photography. I can see children studying this book and engaging in conversation with others about who they themselves are and what they do. Really enjoyed this book!

Overall Book Score: excellent
