Picture a city. What do you see? Traffic and towering buildings? Or maybe you imagine something a little . . . wilder?

These are the astonishing stories of the animals who are adapting to live in our urban world - and how you can help them to thrive.

From the pitter-patter of penguins in Cape Town, to the prowl of a leopard in Mumbai, the splash of a seal in Sydney, cities are home to all sorts of unexpected residents.

Keep your eyes wide open as as we travel the globe discovering wild cities. With magical illustration and beautiful storytelling, these incredible stories will fascinate every reader who has the travel bug, or is an animal fan, or has ever wondered what else exists in our big cities.

Featuring: London, Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, Calgary, New York City, Chicago, Sydney, Beijing, Tokyo, Mumbai, Singapore, Cape Town and Seoul.

El mundo del libro infantojuvenil no deja de darme sorpresas.. En serio. Antes de tener hijos tenía ya en casa unos miles de volúmenes y desde que tengo crios y les he ido haciendo una biblioteca con lo que considero mejor de este mundillo infantojuvenil... tendremos ya unos 200 libros.. Bueno ,de éstos, cuando crezcan no pienso desprenderme de todos pues hay unas joyitas que me gustan a mí como adulto. No digo ya los pop up de Sabuda, los wordless de A.Becker o las ediciones troqueladas preciosas tipo Minalima... sino que uno entra en una librería infantil y disfruto más que en una de adulto. Bueno, este libro es una pequeña maravilla. La temática original.. qué hay en Tokyo, London y New York ?.. Pues obviamente además de una jungla de asfalto (recordando a John Huston) hay además vida animal.. podemos encontrar especies peculiares en dichas ciudades.. Todo ello con un dibujo muy colorido y precioso (me encanta Mumbai)..
Libro muy bien editado, portada en pasta dura con letras sobreelevadas, buen tamaño y gramaje de hoja, buena tipografía en inglés que igual los padres tendremos que ayudar a leerlo a los críos a no ser que tengan un nivel medio de inglés... En fin, muy bonito. Lo recomiendo.

Espero que haya sido útil mi valoración.

5.0 out of 5 stars For me - a classic comparable to The Snowman in its messages and illustrations
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2020

Beautifully illustrated with fun facts concerning wildlife and history in cities across the globe - who would have guessed why Stone Martins in Berlin are not popular ? Or how many mammals Poland has. Colourful and thought provoking illustrations capture the imagination which it is hoped will continue to encourage it's readers to want to slow down to see and learn more about the environment they live in . As an adult I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this book when reading it to my grandson ( and re-reading it to myself) and hope it is one that will be passed through generations.
