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 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.
