review 1: Review; This is a okay poetry collection. This book features poems city life and things you might see in the city. There is one poem per page, though some poems do take up two pages. The way that the words are written, all over the place, might confuse a child. The illustration are really well done. They are of different cities and different places in a city.Chosen poem: CityMile-long skyscrapers are my trees.Subway's whoosh-my summer breeze.A hydrant is my swimming poolWhere friends and I find some cool.City is the place to be.City is the place for me.
review 2: This is a fascinating collection of poems accompanied by illustrations that depict a little dog travelling the world and seeing some of the most famous urban places. The poems are quite disparate, s... moreome in traditional formats, like haiku, others quite unique; some rhyming, some not. We read a few at a time and discussed the locations depicted. Our oldest liked the poems, but our youngest did not. At least she liked the illustrations... less
