This is a very cute book that gives a distinct flavor of each city featured. The illustrations focus on historical buildings and sights of interest, which give a perhaps slightly misleading old-timey air to most of them. There is very little text, but it goes well with the illustrations, which are the main focus of the book.
The illustrations are charmingly rendered and I like that each city's illustrations have a unifying color. This makes the page full of tiny illustrations feel cohesive.
I feel like this would be a good book to read with younger kids, although older kids would probably appreciate the illustrations as well.
*Thanks to NetGalley and Albatros Media for providing an early copy for review.
This had a lot of really cool illustrations. I do with there was a little more information about the different things on each page.

This book was beautiful. I loved all the small illustrations which collectively gave you a flavor of each city. I wish there has been a little more text which would helped to explain why some of those items had been chosen.

A fun illustrated description of cities around the world. The illustrations are cute and each city has a simple, short description written about it.

There is a very good selection of chices of places highlighted in this book. I noticed thoujgh that there are a lot of places in Europe and none from Africa.; There are brief paragraphs and labeled pictures with highlighted things from the places.

There is so much to discover in this book covering some of the largest and best known cities around the globe. The illustration style is fresh and vibrant and captures the attention quickly. It has a very "travel sketchbook" feel to it which I absolutely loved. The author/illustrator did a great job including well-known sights as well as daily vignettes that shed a glimpse into what it is like to live there.
I received a dARC from the publisher via Netgalley; this is my honest review.
This is a lovely book, the illustrations are beautiful and they will entice any family to pick it up and read it to and with their children.
I like the very full pages, almost like a seek and find book, they seem to bustle just like the title of the book!
My only slight problem is that I am English and I don’t know one person from London or anywhere in the UK who drinks tea at 5 o clock, maybe the Ritz hotel does!
I very much enjoyed Bustling Cities of the World and appreciated that so many cities including ones I wouldn’t have thought of are included.
