well done! Both my eightyearold and fiveyearold were captivated and asked for multiple reads, Really great explanations of things all kids are curious about, A little long for reading aloud but my fouryearold sat attentively through the whole book, Definitely not age appropriate for the underset, but I loved it, A behind the scene look at how a city works and its functions on a day to day basis, and the people that make it happen.
I read this as part of an engineering class that I am teaching, It is not specifically about engineering, but it does present a lot of opportunity to ask the question "how does that work", Which is a good question for engineers, Millions of people live in cities around the world, but have you ever wondered how cities work All those people need clean water to drink, a safe place to live, and a way to get all around the city! How do you take care of all those peoples needs Your city has a plan for that.
