HELLO KITTY, HELLO NEW YORK!
From the Hello Kitty series
by Sanrio ; illustrated by Jean Hirashima
The famous feline paints the Big Apple pink.
She enjoys a ride on the Central Park carousel, a soft pretzel, kayaking near the Brooklyn Bridge and a subway journey with her friends. One locale is presented on each double page-spread. The blocky, white type spells out the cat’s signature greeting to the various landmarks: “Hello Grand Central Terminal!” Readers have to reorient the book vertically to view the Empire State Building. True to the brand, the book uses the familiar Sanrio style of thick, curved, black lines filled in with flat, cheery colors. Young Hello Kitty fans, whether NYC natives or tourists, will appreciate seeing their favorite character taking in the sights. (Board book. 18 mos.-3)
