This innovative book for younger readers is packed with city facts, loads of flaps to lift, and unfolding pages to see inside buildings and under the streets. Children aged 5+ can learn about skyscrapers, subway systems and stinky sewers. Discover where people live and peek behind closed doors to see what's going on in houses and apartments, or why not find out about what goes on underneath the streets you walk on every day? Each page is stylishly illustrated by James Gulliver Hancock, creator of the All The Buildings That I've Drawn So Far series (Universe Publishing) and there are loads of quirky details to spot. How many giant cowboy hats can you find through the book? Created in consultation with Jill Sterrett, lecturer with the department of Urban Planning at the University of Washington.

I love sitting with him and the discussions we have from the book Review: Worth every penny! - I really enjoy reading this book to my 7 year old son at night. The book is pretty massive and will take a few nights to get through it if you read it as a bedtime story. The artwork and illustrations are amazing. So much detail that it is hard to get bored with the book. The flaps that show inside apartments or underground add to the entertainment. I also purchased how airports work. I really appreciate books like this and look forward to many more! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #78,680 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #100 in Children's City Life Books #111 in Children's How Things Work Books (Books) #153 in Children's Travel Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 261 Reviews | ## Images ![Lonely Planet Kids How Cities Work: Brilliant Facts & Lift the Flaps | Amazing Illustrations | Learn About Skyscrapers & Subways | Explore Inside, Outside & Underground (How Things Work) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1v8IV6Y6DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by S***K on August 22, 2025* My nephew loves this book and is fascinated by the illustrations.

We got the airport book in this series as a gift and are now onto this one. My kid is 5 years old and fascinated by anything travel and engineering related. He is fascinated by the STEM themes in this book: sewers, construction, transportation, the future. The flaps, design, and information in this book are top notch. A great book for any child ages 4-9. Plus the price is great. ## Frequently Bought Together - How Cities Work 1 - Lonely Planet Kids How Spaceships Work (How Things Work) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35185936-lonely-planet-kids-how-cities-work-brilliant-facts-and-lift](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/35185936-lonely-planet-kids-how-cities-work-brilliant-facts-and-lift) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
