From baseball to fireworks, delis to a real live castle, the city of Toronto is full of surprises and delights.

In this lively book, children crawl through the Henry Moore sculpture in front of the art gallery, shop in the market neighborhood, take a ride on the island ferry, and paint murals at the zoo. 

Best of all, Moak encourages youngsters to appreciate the places they call home.

The book consists of colourful detailed drawings of beloved places in a city: M is for market, P is for park, R is for rink.
