Lost in NYC: A Subway Adventure: A TOON Graphic (TOON Graphics)

I bought this for my son after reading Jeet Heer's excellent biography of Francoise Mouly, in which Heer describes Mouly's interest in children's comic books as a way to help struggling readers (and the resulting formation of the TOON books series). Since I have two struggling readers, I thought it was worth a shot. The book is beautiful and doesn't "talk down" to kids; it's full of interesting, specific information and the graphics are detailed and engaging. My 9 y/o who HATES to read sat down with this for his required 25 minutes of reading for homework, and didn't come up for air for an hour. He read it again the next night, and keeps telling me facts about the city. I hope this becomes a series.

I bought this book as a gift for my 11 years old son. He says five stars because he loves maps. I love the illustrations, but I wish the book had more words.

Read this book then take a trip to NYC. Kids really like this one and it will last several reading levels from read to me all the way through I can read it all by myself. Good story, very inclusive of all people.

Graphics are engaging

Very nice illustration but the book cover came off after few times’ reading.

I loved it , it was for a gift but I have to read it first and I love it, love the graphics, the story, is great

My 8 year old picked this out as a birthday present for his 10 year old brother who loves anything to do with the MTA system. They both enjoyed reading this book!!!

Wonderful book! Great for NYC Subway lovers. My son loves this book. Great graphics and good storyline. Wish they had more books with these characters.

Very interesting book. It's my kid favourite one.

This is cool. A proper adventure along the subway in NYC. Fascinating stuff! I imagine if you’re doing work on NYC or on transport around the world, this would be perfect. One of those I’d never normally pick up, but there’s something about NYC that I just adore!

Brought it back for my kids from New York. They love looking at maps and it's a great story. Awesome for actual subway maps, it's pretty much what we did on our trip, a fun read.

Humorous and precise.
