Reviews"Bustling Cities of the World is an oversized book that celebrates the world''s major and busiest cities, from Cairo to London and Sydney to Vancouver. Introductions to each capture a sense of place and environment ("It''s raining again-no surprise to Londoners. Nobody leaves home without a hat, cap, or umbrella-just look at Sherlock Holmes, a palace guard, even the Queen!"). Each city receives a two-page spread packed with illustrations of its major attributes, from foods and historical buildings to local districts, bridges, markets, and more. The result is a lively leisure read that holds educational attraction, as well." --Midwest Book Review "The illustrations are charmingly rendered and I like that each city''s illustrations have a unifying color.

Each city is represented in a distinct colour palette that unifies the elements that comprise it, as well as reveals something about that place.
