Description
Some people spend their whole lives in a city. For others, though, visiting a big city—with its skyscrapers, subways, and crowds of people on their way to work or school—is like stepping onto another planet. For the narrator of this guide to urban life on Earth, that’s exactly what it is—because this look at cities is told from the perspective of an alien! This unique approach to elementary social studies concepts gets young readers thinking creatively and critically about how they would explain life in a city to someone from another world.

This is a Non-Fiction Children's book that I read to my twin boys. My boys enjoyed this book, and they really loved all the pictures of buildings and cities. I really loved the facts throughout this book. We live in the country, and I really hate being in big cities with a ton of people. My boys are learning about the difference between city and country in school right now, so I felt this book is great to read to them. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

This book is fine. Typical of a kid’s nonfiction book. It’s part of a series and I’m sure the books in the series are the same. What makes these a little different is that it’s an alien explaining what they have observed on a human planet. It’s an interesting concept and a neat way to learn.
