Cards show NYC walks for kids

Sightseeing in New York City carries its share of dangers – namely, your own bored children.

“City Walks With Kids: New York,” by Elissa Stein (Chronicle Books), can be a lifesaver for parents who want to stroll the city, keep the children engaged and make the most of the moment.

It’s priced at $14.95 and comes in a box with a deck of 50 cards, each one offering a sight suitable for kids. On one side, there’s an illustrated map; on the other, tips on what to see and how to get there.
