I adore this book! I found it in New York City, on Halloween. I was nerdily delighted to read this page:Next up is our favorite train, the F.We meet a tourist, a banker, a chef.Witches and cowboys can sometimes be seen (perhaps not today, but on Halloween).The art is abstract, bright, and beautiful. The story is a heartwarming, simple tale of a dad and his two boys having an adventure on a rainy day. It is going to live at Nana's house in my "grandson library"; they just happen to be 2 little bo...
I listened to Emma Straub read this on Books Are Magic's Instagram the other day and I found this story to be so heartwarming. Look at how tender this personification is: "At Bergen the F is sad to see it has to separate from it's friend, the G." I adored it. I can't wait to gift this book to a kid.
I love the artwork and enthusiasm evident in this book. It's a really fun exploration of the subway, even for non-NYCers. The colors stand out well against the black background, and the letters and numbers are fun to practice. This was enjoyed by kids & adults alike.
As a New York librarian I'm really thrilled to see something so specific that helps explain a concept kids are just starting to explore. And while this is NYC-specific, this book also works with concepts (especially numbers and colors) as well as transportation.
A father and two children spend a rainy day exploring the NYC subway system. The bright graffiti-style illustration pulls in the readers. Tags: Subways -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fathers and sons -- Stories in rhyme -- Picture books --
This book was pretty confusing to my class. SOME of them understood more when I explained that the subway is like the metro (we are in MD, close to DC).
A rhyming story of a father and two children who entertain themselves on a cold wet day on the NYC subways.NYC is never mentioned, but it's clear from the train names and stops.
Great for babies
This book shows a tale of a dad and his two sons, who decide to go on a subway. The three of them travel from place to place, going on various subways, while seeing many different things on the way. They even see some witches and cowboys, but mostly just on Halloween. This book shows the excitement that this family receives from something as simple as traveling on subway, which many people do every day. The illustrations use paint to show different colors but keeps the background black to make t...
My son and I enjoyed this book (over and over again). Even the covers were fun and we enjoyed pointing to which subways go to mommy's work, which go to daddy's work, which go to grandma and grandpa, etc.
It's raining, so a father and two kids go on a New York City subway adventure. The opening pages thrill with the wind and rumble of an approaching train in the tunnel as seen from a platform edge. Then the family boards their first train (the A) and readers are treated to a romp through the city's iconic underground.The use of the official MTA letter and number symbols for all the train lines, and the vibrant, high-contrast illustrations are bee-to-honey-level fabulousness. Niemann did a wonderf...
Minus a full star for needlessly gendering trains.
Great book for all the subway lovers out there (I think for kids, that's pretty much everyone?).
4 stars. Yes, like 3. Bunnies.
I think he really captured the experience of loving the the NYC subway system. Simple but great playful illustrations.
