Summary: "This book is jam-packed with pictures, facts, and stats about a host of incredible cities - from Auckland, Beijing, and Copenhagen all the way to Zanzibar Town. Where might you come across a poisonous boomslang? Which city is filled with stars? What metropolis has such a hectic transportation system, train-stuffers have to help passengers aboard? The answers to all this and more are waiting inside! It's time to take a trip of a lifetime" --
