One of the best, most-interesting to look at and read together books I've read in a long time. And I would love to live in such a civiliized place. ( )

Etta Elephant visits her Aunt Ellen in Cycle City just in time for the big Starlight Parade, in which all the various animal residents promenade in their diverse cycles. As Mayor Snail hunts down the various attendees who have not yet received their invitation, and the Parade Committee realize they haven't named a Grand Marshall, Etta and Aunt Ella spend a happy day getting ready. Eventually, it is Ella herself who is chosen to lead the parade...

An entertaining search-and-find book, as well as an engaging picture-book tribute to cycles of all kinds, Cycle City provides the child reader/listener with the opportunity of poring over its detailed illustrations. The text on each two-page spread invites the reader to search out various animals, in the busy scenes depicted in the watercolor artwork. This is a debut for author/artist Alison Farrell, and it is certainly an auspicious one! I'm not always fond of search-and-find books, mostly because my eyes tend to get tired, but I found this one quite charming. Recommended to young cyclists, and to anyone looking for picture-books featuring search-and-find elements. ( )
