There
are eight things to discover on every page. These are listed in words and
pictures opposite the title page.
A four-line descriptive verse accompanies
each picture. 1,800 mice are illustrated throughout the book.

bookshelves, the Empire State Building, Times Square, Grand Central Station, High
Line (an old railway track), the Staten Island Ferry, New York Public Library,
