A companion to the author's Come to the Country, the antic illustrations and specific text of Come to the City introduce the young reader to the fun and facts of city life. With a line and the swish of the brush, the excitement of the zoo, a giant department store, a museum, the public library, the subway, the park, all those manifestations of urban life are made explicit. A reasonable facsimile of an actual tour of New York, an excellent preparation for such a trip.
