Book Presentation: Wow New York City!
Feb 22, 2010, 10:14


Wow! New York City

Imagine a City Built with a Paper Clip . . .

Puck (Author), Rey David Rojas (Illustrations by)


New York City has never been more whimsical than in this visual narrative that uses wire-art sculptures to explore the Big Apple. Everything starts with a paper clip that unfolds to create some of New York's most famous symbols, including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Empire State Building. A lively text accompanies the striking visuals, and six pages of information chronicle everything needed to know about the included attractions and landmarks.


Puck is the author of the series Cool Counting Books™ which includes 123 California, 123 Chicago, 123 New York, 123 San Francisco, 123 Texas, and 123 USA. He has worked as a writer, editor, and translator for national publications and publishing houses. He lives in New York City.

Rey David Rojas is an award-wining Mexican visual artist who studied in the renowned Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (National School of Visual Arts) in Mexico City, and has illustrated children’s books for some of Mexico’s most innovative publishers, such as Editorial Serpentina and Libros del Escarabajo.
