Metropolis by Benoit Tardif

Yet another beautiful illustrated nonfiction book from Big Picture Press, Metropolis takes the reader on a trip to thirty two of the world’s greatest cities. Whilst offering little in the way of straightforward factual information and instead relying on stunning visuals to convey detail, this is a really fun and exquisite book to look over and makes comparing similarities and differences between cities vastly enjoyable. I loved the inclusion of a lot of modern architecture, and laughed at how many types of doughnuts and bagels were included! There’s a lot of humour within the pages that makes for a great family read-together.
