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 childrens 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.
