Thanks to Goodreads and Kids Can Press for a free copy of Metropolis!

A compelling, whirlwind tour to cities around the world. With beautiful illustrations, Metropolis highlights touristy attractions as well as smaller, more local aspects -- the Rogers Centre vs. a donut shop in Toronto, for example. Perfect for world-traveller -- or would-be world-traveller -- kids.

This book lists the major sites from many large cities around the world. The things you will see in each city that were chosen by the author can be landmarks, animals, athletes or food. I enjoyed the items selected to represent each city. I like the illustrations, but I think the book could have been better with some photographs. In some cases only a photo can relay the majesty of the landmarks.
