Review: Cycle City

February 20, 2018February 20, 2018 Jane the Raincity Librarian 2 comments

When little Etta the Elephant goes to her Aunt Ellen’s house, she takes a journey through bicycle-filled Cycle City, a town filled with bikes of all kinds! At the end of the day, a special surprise awaits Etta—the most amazing bicycle parade imaginable. Detail-rich illustrations in this fun seek-and-find book paint the colors of this unusual town where everyone rides some kind of bike—whether a penny-farthing, a two-wheeled unicycle, or a conference bike, everyone is on wheels! Packed with prompts and lots to see on every page, this is a sweet story for the sharpest of eyes.

Fans of Richard Scarry’s BusyTown are in for a real treat! Cycle City is a feast for the eyes, – each page bursts with adorable, colourful details that bring a joyous, madcap community to life. Readers are invited to follow along with Mayor Snail as he travels through Cycle City handing out invitations for the upcoming bicycle parade. A different individual is hidden among the details on each spread in a Where’s Waldo? fashion for children to seek out. Additional prompts encourage conversation and imagination, making Cycle City a great choice for children and their grownups to share together.

Colourful, imaginative and lots of fun, Cycle City is the kind of book that children will enjoy pouring over for ages, and will love returning to again and again.
