Taking a hands-on approach to some very interesting subjects, these beautifully illustrated books for children 4 to 8 feature more than 50 pull-tabs, lift-the-flaps, and pop-ups. Each over-sized volume is jam-packed with fun visual details for attentive readers, while captions provide additional information.

In a busy city, it can be difficult to understand just how many things are going on at once, and why. In this delightful, highly informative guide to city life, kids can help window washers reach the top floor of a skyscraper, see how firefighters get ready for action, look for a 300-year-old tree in the park, and discover how water travels from distant mountains to our faucets. The pop-up on the final pages brings all the neighborhoods together into a towering cityscape.
