"Book of Cities"
The Children's
Book Review
"Book of Cities" by Piero Ventura
(Universe/Rizzoli Publishers, $18.95, over-sized, full color) is a
tour of some of the great cities of the world in words and pictures
Rome, London, New York, Tokyo, Moscow, Venice and more.
Delightfully drawn, delightfully written - we are there with
basketball players in Central Park, with a London policeman plying
his trade, on a houseboat in the harbor of Hong Kong.
"Book of Cities" is a book of wonder for children and
the child within all of us. It respectfully and joyfully gets at the
style and substance of city life and educates the reader with all
kinds of carefully gleaned and researched facts. MOST NOTABLE!
