No, haven't heard of the "City" book! Once my classroom is all sorted for the new school year, I'll take a look (esp as I'll have loads of unpacked boxes, lol!)

I teach prek too, lol! We use to read "This is Not a Box" and have the kids create something out of a box; this would have been a great addition to that activity! Sounds like a great book overall!

What a great quote! And it can be applied to #writing too--some days the ideas refuse to show themselves and today is one of those days for me, lol!

Thanks for sharing this book!
