Great Streets Of The World
The Hambledon
£10.99
What makes a street interesting? Is it the architecture, the landscape,
the people, the businesses, or the history? In this collection of
sixteen charmingly detailed illustrations, kids can discover the answer
for themselves. Spanning nearly every continent to explore a fantastic
variety of cities, sixteen double-page spreads come alive with colour
and activity. In San Francisco, people and vehicles make their way up
and down Lombard Street's twists and turns. On Hotagayo Street in the
quiet, wintry Japanese town of Shirakawa, snow slides off the deeply
pitched roofs, while in Bamako, Mali, the massive and crowded
marketplace shimmers with heat. Kids will delight in the quirky
architecture of Prinsengracht Street in Amsterdam and try to identify
all the neon lights of Broadway. Whether looking down the dizzying slope
that is the Rua da Bica in Lisbon or zooming on a motorbike through
Hanoi, Agusti Sousa's irresistible illustrations capture each location's
unique vibe. Mia Cassany's texts will spark discussion about what makes
a place special, while encouraging readers to wonder what's happening on
the streets of their own hometowns.
