The City Kid and the Suburb Kid

Written by Deb Pilutti
Illustrated by Linda Bleck
Published by Sterling, May 2008

Jack can’t wait to spend a week with Adam in the suburbs. No more honking horns!
No more hot and noisy subways! And he does enjoy the tree climbing, fishing, and triple-dipped cones. But soon he starts wondering what’s happening with his friends back in the city.

And when it’s Adam’s turn to visit, he happily leaves behind his annoying sister and lawns that need mowing: hello, skyscrapers, skateboards, and shopping downtown! Then, just like Jack, he begins to miss all the familiar things he took for granted.
