Barbara Bakos.
Two friends enjoy a busy day in a bustling city--seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching enhance their experience. "Listen to the three-piece band. / Shimmy to the sound." The lively urban environment offers music, dancing, trains, cafes, and more. The playful, onomatopoeia-heavy rhymed text extends the musical sentiment in the story, while bright, energetic illustrations feature small detailed figures.
