A City Through Time (DK Panorama)

My son loves history and has loved not only this book but the other books illustrated by Steve Noon (A Street Through Time, A Port Through Time).

My children greatly enjoy all the books in this series, and while Anne Millard does a great job with the facts it is the art of Steve Noon that really makes these books phenomenal. Easily understood information that is very interesting appears on each page, and with characters you can follow throughout the book you can spend a long time searching for them -- which allows you to really appreciate all the other historically accurate mini-scenes that play out all over. I will admit that I have been known to look through these books even when my children aren't around. This book, and all the others in this series, should be enjoyable for all children of all ages. Even those who aren't old enough to read will still love the pictures and learn something. Older children learn quite a bit, and keep coming back to the book because there is always something new to find. I highly recommend this book, and encourage any parent to add all of them to their collection!

I bought "A City Through Time" for a six year old. I was afraid that it was too advanced for his age when I received it, but his mother says it is a hit. :) They go through it a page at a time with him and he soaks it up like a sponge. Great book. An excellent way to introduce a child to the concepts of time and history. The illustrations are fascinating and entertaining...even an adult will learn things here. Probably more suited to an eight or nine year old ideally.

I love this book. Written by Philip Steele, the story takes you on a journey from the Stone Age and shows you the progression of a city over time to the Millennium Tower in the year 2005. The illustrations by Steve Noon are so detailed and gorgeous. Each era shows cut-aways of the various architectural structures complete with labels and definitions on each page. There is also a glossary at the end of the book so it's educational at the same time as being a fun feast for the eyes. Adults will be as fascinated by this book as the children they are reading it with.

More of a childrens book. Skips about 1000 years between rome and medieval times

Got this for my grandson. I think I liked it better than he did☺️

Great addition to my cross cut library.

We use this as part of our bookshark pre-k curriculum. I used this curriculum for kindergarten for my oldest child with special needs and we enjoyed it. I’m using it again for my 4 yo. This books is nice because of the details it has you look for.

This is the type of book that you can literally spend hours studying the pictures and, without always realising it, absorbing interesting and useful information that could be as dry as dust if it wasn't presented so attractively. This is a fitting complement to 'A Street in Time'. A wonderful book.
