New York City Monsters, is a fabulous book by Anne Paradis. It is a search and find book, so on each page you have numerous monsters to discover, hidden within the illustrations, (it does tell you on each page how many monsters you need to find).

Throughout the book you get to visit, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Rockefeller Center Ice Rink, Thanksgiving Day Parade, plus many more places of interest.

The book is filled will beautiful, brightly coloured illustrations drawn by Lucile Danis Drouot. They really capture the essence of the city, and the popular tourist attractions within.

Young children will have so much fun with this book. Older children won’t find it too boring, or babyish for them either, as some of the monsters are quite difficult to find, it too me quite a while to find a few of them!!

Whether you have been to New York or not, or are a fan of the city or not, this book is extremely enjoyable, and well worth five stars.

Part travel guide, part scavenger hunt, “New York City Monsters" will delight all ages!

I loved this book! A perfect bedtime story to encourage communication and enthusiasm of books in young children. New York City Monsters would be a great read for any family that are living in New York City or are visiting on holiday, as well as anyone that is interested in getting to know the place more. The monsters are fairly easy to find but some are harder than others making it the perfect book for children of all age!
