Bolivar Eats New York: A Discovery Adventure

Bolivar is a cute dinosaur that lives with his friend Sybil in New York. The picture book starts out with the two of them going to their favorite Deli downtown. Bolivar orders his favorite, just like every other time! Sybil tries to encourage him to try something new and ends up taking him all across New York to find new exciting food! Bolivar gets to try all kinds of new food from different cuisines and cultures including Jewish favorites, Italian, Chinese, and street food from all over the world. I really enjoyed this book. It’s beautifully illustrated, and while the book is a mix between comic and traditional story, the explanations about the food and cultures were a great addition. I learned a lot of facts about New York, its history, and people. I think this book is a great addition to anyone’s library!
