librarianryan 's review for:
Metropolis
by Benoit Tardif
I take this book to be a travel curiosity book for kids. Each city it gives you the County, the language, and the population. Then it has colorful illustrations of the various places to see in that city. The idea is nice, but it’s missing lots of information.For example when you are in Buenos Aires, why should you visit the Floralis Generica sculpture? What is so special about “The Gherkin” in London. And who in the world is Pippi Longtocking? (Okay this one I know, but the kids reading the book may not.) The book does contain a small glossary for words that it uses in other languages which is nice, and so is the world map on the inside covers that tells you the location of each city. That being said, this is probably a book that a school library could use, but not much else.
