Look Where We Live!: A First Book of Community Building (Exploring Our Community)

"Look Where We Live! A First Book of Community Building" would be a great supplemental text on a unit about communities. Broke into many sections the book covers aspects which children should see, know and understand within their community. I also like the ideas in the back of the book for ideas to expand their learning and understanding. This book is a wonderful addition to a classroom.

This book would be a good fit for primary grade levels. This book teaches readers how to interact in a community in a way that will help and support those around you. This would be a great book for lessons on community, kindness, or responsibility.

This book talks about community engagement, and things that children can do as active participates of they community. I absolutely love it. The plot takes you from one part of the community to other shopping, car washing, clean up and a lot of places to be safe and have fun in the community.

This book would be great for primary readers as it talks a lot about community and knowing where you are from. This book helps portray what it's like to know your community and how it can help create a better place of living when you know those around you. It's great for the kids to read so that they can start young and they can even make neighborhood friends.

Five young kids spend the day around their street fair trying to raise money for their local library. They learn about the different people that make up the community and what it means to help and be apart of the community. This book could be read when you are teaching about geography and using a map. This book is a great resource for Social Studies and shows what it is like to have a community and to take care of your community. Great book for kids of all ages.

A group of children go on an adventure through their community because it is the day of the street fair. The street fair helps raise money for books and computers at the local library. They visit a friend who is having a yard sale, an ice cream shop, and a gas station. They then begin to clean up any garbage from the floor, then viewed a mural being painted on a school, visited a retirement home to buy lemonade, returned books at the library, looked at the community garden, watched friends play soccer, and visited the police station. This book informed you of all the things that are placed in a community. Each page gave you a definition of any word that might be a little hard and also asked you questions that related to the place they show more were going to.
