"""The illustrations are charmingly rendered and I like that each city's illustrations have a unifying color. This makes the page full of tiny illustrations feel cohesive. I feel like this would be a good book to read with younger kids, although older kids would probably appreciate the illustrations as well."" —NetGalley-ReviewerThere is so much to discover in this book covering some of the largest and best known cities around the globe.

It has a very ""travel sketchbook"" feel to it which I absolutely loved. - NetGalley-Educator This is a lovely book, the illustrations are beautiful and they will entice any family to pick it up and read it to and with their children. I like the very full pages, almost like a seek and find book, they seem to bustle just like the title of the book! - NetGalley-Librarian A fun illustrated description of cities around the world. The illustrations are cute and each city has a simple, short description written about it. - NetGalley-Bookseller"
