A City Through Time

This is the type of book that you can literally spend hours studying the pictures and, without always realising it, absorbing interesting and useful information that could be as dry as dust if it wasn't presented so attractively. This is a fitting complement to 'A Street in Time'. A wonderful book.

My son loves history and has loved not only this book but the other books illustrated by Steve Noon (A Street Through Time, A Port Through Time).

My Gr. 5 son LOVES this book!

My children greatly enjoy all the books in this series, and while Anne Millard does a great job with the facts it is the art of Steve Noon that really makes these books phenomenal. Easily understood information that is very interesting appears on each page, and with characters you can follow throughout the book you can spend a long time searching for them -- which allows you to really appreciate all the other historically accurate mini-scenes that play out all over. I will admit that I have been known to look through these books even when my children aren't around. This book, and all the others in this series, should be enjoyable for all children of all ages. Even those who aren't old enough to read will still love the pictures and learn something. Older children learn quite a bit, and keep coming back to the book because there is always something new to find. I highly recommend this book, and encourage any parent to add all of them to their collection!
