A city explored from skyline to subway

Organized around things that go, things to see, and things to eat, Cityblock introduces 24 facets of urban life. Its scenes move from a broad view of the city toward the distinct neighborhoods within it, while die-cut shapes and fold-out pages make the book an interactive object for young readers. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle are among the cities named in the publisher’s description. The combination of city scenes and hands-on page features gives the book a way to explore how urban places fit together, from high-rise buildings to the subway below.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 curious about cities and how they work
  • Young readers who enjoy interactive books with die-cut shapes and fold-out pages
  • Families exploring city life, whether they live in an urban area or are visiting one

STARRED REVIEW *"A big urban adventure in a small package." ―Publishers Weekly

STARRED REVIEW *"Will delight young readers and grown-ups." ―School Library Journal

Divided into three sections--things that go, things to see, and things to eat--Cityblock features 24 different aspects of city living. Kids who live in, visit, or dream about New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and more will love getting to know how cities work from top to bottom.

Like the previous books in the series, Cityblock has die-cut shapes on every spread and durable, interactive fold-out pages, perfect for little hands. Each section opens with a full city scene but gradually focuses in on the small, unique neighborhoods that make the city special.

This clever book will attract young readers living in urban hubs and suburbia alike with its bright, animated, retro-inspired artwork by Peski Studio. This is a must-have book for the little city slicker in your family.
