The alphabet book the New York family keeps on the shelf forever.

Mr. Boddington's illustrated alphabet through New York. A for Apple, B for Bodega, C for Cab. The kind of children's book the grandparent reads on the floor on the first afternoon of the visit, and the small one asks for again the next morning. A new baby gift, a birthday for the kid who is starting to read, a small piece of the city for the family who just moved away.

For the new baby gift. For the grandchild's birthday. For the cousin who just moved out of the city.

Hardcover. Illustrated children's alphabet book.
