I'm glad SOMEONE thinks riding the subway is fun...while this book might not give you a total attitude adjustment when it comes to your morning commute, it's certainly a sweet book that will encourage New Yorkers of any age to think about their subway rides a little differently.
— Peter
Even as an adult, I still get a little confuzzled about the subway system sometimes. The A, C, 3 and 4 are ones I can count on. But the Q, F, 1 and 7 are foreign to me. What a helpful picture book for not only children, but grown-ups to get around the city.
— AsiaA father.
Two children.
And more than 840 miles of track.
What does it addup to?
Something thrilling.
Are you ready for Subway?
