This Is Our City

By Lauren Paige Conrad

In this companion to This Is a Window, the power of children's imaginations returns to center stage--this time in a shared backyard, where kids run a make-believe city full of hustle and bustle.

Welcome to Cat Pine Falls, a charming make-believe city made by kids, in their shared backyard Here, pinecones are currency, the trees are tall skyscrapers for business up high, and a handy kid-run subway line zips between all the unmissable action. Young listeners will delight in eureka moments sparked by the delightfully imaginative pairing of words and pictures: the "carwash" is really a willow tree, the "caf " is really an overturned kiddie pool, and more. As they follow along, kids will love being on the lookout for the Mayor of Cat Pine Falls-- a cat --who is expertly hidden on every spread of gorgeous, collage-style art.

With satisfying rhymes that make for a sweet read-aloud, here's a story that will delight kids, creative-minded parents, and childcare professionals alike, encouraging kids to create community through a shared imaginative playtime.
