By Isabel Hill and Isabel T. Hill

Book Overview

Come to the city and you will find, animals, animals of every kind! Discover donkeys on grilles, boars guarding stoops, and elephants supporting flagpoles. The fantastic architectural animals and playful illustrations in this rhyming book will introduce children to the fanciful world of our built environment. Isabel Hill draws on her years of experience in the Building Conservation Department to offer a new perspective on cityscapes. Young children will enjoy the game of identifying animals, while older children and adults will pause over the quirky architectural details.
