Gaspard, a black dog, and Lisa, a white one, love to travel and often get into trouble on the way. Their antics are recorded in a growing series of books for children 3 to 6 filled with snappy text and lively illustrations.

The books are produced by a husband-and-wife team. Anne Gutman is a children’s book designer, Georg Hallensleben was a painter before becoming a full-time illustrator of books. The couple lives in Paris with their daughter and too many cats.

In this volume, Lisa visits her favorite uncle in New York City and sees the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Central Park. When she gets lost in Times Square while shopping for souvenirs, she is saved by her own cleverness—and a Statue of Liberty night-light.
