About This Book
A young boy visits the big city with his parents and experiences hotels, busy streets, buses, parks, ferries, and the excitement of sightseeing. Everyday outings become small adventures as he explores moving stairways, rides on top of buses, watches parades, and shops with his mother. At one point he becomes separated from his family and is later found, and he also aids neighbors and acquaintances he meets while away. The narrative follows his discoveries and mishaps and highlights growing independence, practical problem-solving, and simple acts of kindness.
