Synopsis

At Grand Central Station, Chief of Police George Coppola finds lost people, and Mr. Chidchester, head of the Lost and Found, finds lost dogs. Marino Marino makes oyster stew, while thinking up interesting math problems. A man in a porkpie hat buys cherry pies. Maira Kalman's stylized artwork, along with entertaining text, brilliantly captures the excitement of Grand Central Station, "the busiest, fastest, biggest place there is."

The New York Times Book Review - Kyle Crichton

As always, the witty illustrations are Kalman's strong point....I'll leave the last word to my daughter, "It's a good book, but you'd better be in the third grade or be very smart."
