The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Twenty-eight free-verse poems treat the often underappreciated flora and fauna of cities. . . . Short-lined verse cleverly employs sound effects, repetition, and pattern to add interest. . . . Digital collage illustrations turn the poems into luminous slices of beauty."

"Cities may have lots of buildings and concrete streets, but they are also homes to plants, trees, birds, mammals, insects, and other examples of "nature." You just have to know where to look. This book, with gorgeous collage illustrations by Amy Schimler-Safford, is a good start."
