When Grammy-winning performer Billy Joel wrote the song New York State of Mind, he captured the essence of the City-the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. In this book inspired by the song, readers of all ages can "visit" New York whenever they please. Izak Zenou's stylish watercolors depict a scrappy dog as he travels around one of world's most exciting cities. The whirlwind trip takes the reader from the top of the Empire State Building to the base of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, from the ice rink in Central Park to the bustling streets of Chinatown.
