Traffic jams, news stands, and theater fans, oh my! Check out eight action-packed scenes to see what happens during a full day in a busy city.

In each picture, the city buzzes with activity. Peek inside a school, an apartment building, a theater, a museum, and more. Keep your eye on the clock too. By spending a whole day in a city, you can watch events unfold from morning to night.

The Time Goes By series let's you spend a whole day (or a whole year) in the same place and watch events unfold. Eight large-scale illustrations combine with simple text to tell the story. A clock or calendar shows time passing, while a "search and find" feature encourages readers to study the artwork up close.
