For Kyra the koala, and Alia the alpaca.



The city speaks! And we should listen,

As buildings rise, and waters glisten. 

Rabbits will rush, and dodos will dazzle, 

Jets will jingle, and foxes frazzle,

For, in this book, our city awaits!

So, look down at the page and out at the place, 

this is our home,

The greatest of greats.
