A perfect companion to our "E is for Empire: A New York State Alphabet", "Times Square: A New York State Number Book" teaches children about numbers, using state landmarks, historical events, and famous faces; from finger lakes to the stitches on a baseball, readers of all ages will know the number they represent and their ties to New York. There are so many number questions to answer about New York State. Where do the two lions -- Patience and Fortitude -- reside? Can you name the six major Finger Lakes? Can you name the five boroughs of New York City? Ann E. Burg is the author of E is for Empire: A New York State Alphabet. She lives in Albany, New York. Maureen K. Brookfield has illustrated several books including E is for Empire: A New York State Alphabet. She lives in Marshfield, Massachusetts.

Grade 2-5–This picture book counts its way through New York history, exploring little-known facts along the way. Numbers 1 through 12 each get a page or a spread, with small-type sidebars offering more in-depth coverage of the topics presented. The book then switches to counting by 10s, going from 20 up to 100 in the same format. This title will work well for those needing extra details and facts for reports. For instance, readers learn that the term pie à la mode was coined by a professor dining at the Hotel Cambridge in Cambridge, NY. Other local facts include information on the Rockettes, L. Frank Baum, and Grandma Moses. Other than on the cover, Times Square does not appear in the book. The illustrations, rendered in warm watercolor tones, complement the brief histories given in the text.–Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY
