Toddlah is a gigantic toddler. He and his family travel to New York for vacation. While sight seeing he gets lost in the city. He meets several kids and pets and they enjoy the day together playing and seeing sites. At the end of the day, everyone goes home with their parents. At a loss of what to do, he climbs the Empire State Building and calls for his mom and dad. He finds them and they go home. The parents are talking at night after everyone has gone to bed about how sad it was that Toddlah didn't get a souvenir from the city. But he did. He brought home the Statue of Liberty. The end shows him standing waving good bye to the train that was taking her back to New York. It is a really cute and easy to read book.
