Praise for ABC NYC An International Reading Association Notable Book
“Dugan clearly shares a view of the city she loves, one that will hold the interest of children through repeated viewings . . . a delightful abecedarian . . .” —School Library Journal
“Where else does M stand for manhole cover?”—Time Out New York Kids
"123 NYC" As an educator of preschool age children I am always looking for a new, fresh take on the basics. Joanne Dugan's books "123 NYC" and "ABC NYC" have wonderful, colorful pictures of things we see everyday. Although these books can be enjoyed by all children, I think children who live in New York City in particular can really relate to them. My students love both of Ms. Dugan's books and visit them over and over again.
A delightful book for all What a delightful approach to the world of numbers; our little boy loves to read through it with us, and now by himself. It's terrific, charming, and highly imaginative - and, also, a great idea for that kiddie birthday gift when you're wracking your brain for the kid that already has everything.
1,2,3 Reasons to Love this Book You will be delighted by Joanne Dugan's 123, A Counting Book because 1) It is a fun way to teach little ones basic counting skills 2) Whether you are a New York native or just love to visit, you'll enjoy identifying the locations of the images (my favorite: the 12 clocks) and 3) Dugan strikes just the right blend of tribute to the city and with wry humor (check out the shoes.)
You can count on this to be the perfect gift!
A rich experience 123 NYC is lush; it makes for a perfect gift for any child with an interest in the city, in art or with an inquisitive nature. Keep your eyes peeled; some of these locations are pretty recognizable! If you are a Manhattan resident, it's always fun to try and find where each letter comes from.

Magical! Not only a New York City feast for the eyes, but a lesson in the art of seeing.
