THE CABBIE WHO STOLE NEW YORK CITY by Charles Micucci



"Be careful what you wish for...it just might happen." This is a lesson Cosmo learned the hard way when he wished his cab "could do something besides break down all the time." Suddenly Cosmo's cab has the power to shrink anything around when it backfires. What a great way to get through city traffic! But Cosmo gets a little carried away, and before he knows it, he has the entire New York City in the trunk of his car. When he takes the city home and sets it up in his apartment, he can't sleep with all the city noises and the miniature people running all over the place. Now Cosmo wishes he never stole New York City.

Young children, ages 3+, will enjoy the silliness of the storyline and the whimsical illustrations. This book can be found in the Easy section under E MIC.
