City Kids: Street and Skyscraper Rhymes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Philippe Béha. City life is the focus of this collection of spirited poems. Subjects include subway trips, fender benders, street performers, and graffiti, among others. Most of the brief rhyming poems are upbeat, but a few tackle more mature topics like the loss of a firefighter in 9/11. Cubist-inspired illustrations rendered in crayon-bright colors suit the verse well.
