Wild City: Meet the animals who share our city spaces

Ben Hoare, Lucy Rose

Wild City travels the globe, exploring how animals have adapted to live alongside humans, in busy cities including New York, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Stockholm, London, Alexandria, Singapore, and Mumbai. Discover hawks by a world-famous shopping street, snakes slithering through city sewers, and penguins waiting patiently to cross the road. Feature spreads take a closer look at the animals, showing how some wander in plain sight while others hide away in our homes, and we meet wildlife heroes from around the world—ordinary people doing extraordinary things to make our wild neighbours feel welcome.

This book was very interesting. I liked all facts about where animals live in cities. I would recommend this book if you like animals.

An very indepth look at animals around the world. The book is colourful with some interesting and unusual facts. There is a focus on specific cities as well as habitats such as underground, and also includes sections on predators and scavengers. A highlight for me was the inclusion of ways we can help animals, for example, taking part in bird watch and building homes for them in our gardens, something we all need to be aware of and particularly important to educate our children in. I would definitely recommend this book.

I think it is like a encyclopaedia. It is so interesting because it tell you all the animals that share the city spaces. I will recommend it to someone who loves animals.

I like this book because I saw a cute chipmunk.

It was interesting. All the animals were separated in places around the world. I would reccomend this to animal lovers. My favourite page was Tokyo.

My favourite character is a sea lion and it’s full of information but it is too long.

A very interesting book to read, as it described so many different varieties of species and the obscure facts that make them all so unique from each other. There was a lot of information to take in, however I enjoyed how the book travelled around the world, looking at famous (as well as some more unknown) cities, as well as the various efforts being made by people from across the globe to protect these species, their habitats and increase biodiversity. I would recommend the book to older children, especially to those interested in both wildlife and conservation efforts.

Really nice book because this book is a really good book to read for a nature lover.
