Noisy City Day

Description

This oversized board book traces a city across the span of a day -- filled with the people, traffic, parks, streets, stores, and buildings that make up the town. The breadth of the urban experience may all be found here: from the bicyclist lazily gliding through the park to the raucous swooshhhhh of traffic; from the clanging crash of construction work to the quiet of a sweeping streetscape as seen from a high-floor apartment building.
Vibrant colors that zing with the heat rising from a steaming sidewalk are perfectly matched to a syncopated, sound-filled, chant-again-and-again text. Ingeniously die-cut pages reinforce the experience of the city skyline in a stylish book that represents a tour-de-force performance by Sara Anderson.
