ABOUT THE BOOK

City is an unusual visual history book that lets children follow one city through hundreds and thousands of years. Using a thumb index, readers can quickly move from one historical period to another and watch a settlement change from its early beginnings into a Roman fortress town, Viking trading centre, medieval cathedral city and eventually a modern metropolis.

The book takes children on an exciting trip through time, allowing them to see how the same place changes from page to page.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Age: Approximately 7–12 years

Best for: Children interested in history, cities, architecture, archaeology and visual learning.

WHY WE LOVE IT

The same-city-through-time concept is particularly effective. Instead of learning about isolated historical periods, children can see how urban life, buildings, transport and society evolve over centuries.
