Synopsis

Ice cream truck jing-a-linging Nine phones ringing, ten horns beeping In the stroller Baby's sleeping. Will anything wake up that snoozing baby? Follow the red stroller through the cacophony of the city and find out! Rhythm, rhyme, and lots of noisy onomatopoeia from premier children's poet Marilyn Singer, coupled with chaotic, colorful art from an acclaimed European illustrator, make this a rowdy read-aloud, with plenty of things to find and count on every spread.

The New York Times - Gregory Cowles

There have been lots of love songs to the city, of course, and when the subways rumble and the taxis rattle across these pages, parents who know their show business may find themselves unconsciously whistling "Lullaby of Broadway." But in this vibrant, terrific picture book, Marilyn Singer and Carll Cneut summon a hip-hooray and ballyhoo all their own.
