This superbly illustrated colouring and activities book for children is inspired by the city of Brussels and its eclectic architecture. When the author, Gwen Guegan lived in Brussels, she drew many facades of houses, sometimes remarkable, sometimes simple. She had fun re-composing the city, grouping the houses regardless of their geographical location but associating them according to her whim. The playful character of Edgar the Fox (an animal appearing more and more in the capital today) serves as a guide and takes the young readers through an atypical and nocturnal walk in the empty city. He encourages them to colour, draw, complete and recognise the most emblematic elements of the city. Learning to look at the city to take ownership of it by being creative is one of the goals of this book. An appendix allows the most curious or their parents to complete their knowledge on the essential architectural elements of the city crossed throughout the story and know their address to see them in real life if they wish.

"Playground dynamics become testy as a willful child attempts to exclude everyone else in this simple, humorous lesson in human relations. . . . Deft and funny." --THE HORN BOOK
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.
