Review: Urban Animals - Isabel T. Hill

Wanting a picture book filled with art and animals ?

Review: Urban Animals - Isabel Hill - September 2009

There is nothing more fun than spotting pictures within bits of art , and in Urban Animals we take a walk down the American way of life as we look at the different architectures and the pictures of Animals that lay inside from a row of seahorses in a window to Dogs with droopy ears hanging from columns. This is the perfect book to read to toddlers as you can discuss not only the animals but also give them a basic knowledge of art at the same time. With its simple rhyming text, vibrant photographs and playful illustrations, this book invites children (and adults) to look up and discover the fascinating animals that decorate the buildings in our cities. An illustrated glossary of architectural terms will empower children with new words and phrases as well as a new interest in architecture. Benjamin Franklin Award Finalist.
