Susan in KY Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Little Women, Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge (you really need that one as a picture book for your little ones—it's great and the light house is still there under the Geo. Washington Bridge!), From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil e. Frankweiler.... There are a bunch. For my daughter's 6th birthday, she asked for a trip to NYC so she could see the little red lighthouse and the statue of Balto the sled dog in central park. That's an early reader your littles might enjoy, too. (P.S. We took the trip! It was fabulous!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson. We just listened to this one - very good!! I'm pretty sure that Little Women did not take pace in NYC, except for maybe when Jo goes to the city to be a governess. You could check to see if the new American Girl stories for Rebecca are on audio yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 James and the Giant Peach. (In the end, the peach ends up getting stuck on the Empire State building.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
