Fun content but binding comes apart
Great book and kids loved the facts. But bad binding construction …. the glue came apart on the binding the first time we read it. We got a replacement and that one came apart too.

This book is for all ages!
Having lived in NYC two times over four decades, turns out I still had a lot to learn. I bought this book for my 8 yr. old granddaughter to prepare for a trip and she has had a ball reading random entries. We also discovered new places to go! If you like "fun facts," buy this book!

Content Great, binding terrible
Fun to read with my kids. Binding fell apart after the first 2 reads. Should've read the earlier reviews! Quite disappointed in the quality.

great book
My 6 year old and I read it cover to cover on our way to NYC, and there was lots of cool stuff in the book that we ended up doing in real life, thanks to the book.

Not that interesting
There are so many more interesting facts that could’ve been included in this book… my 7 year old read it from cover to cover and was unimpressed
