K-Gr 2 Community-based assignments to help students improve and expand their understanding of the world are a staple in elementary schools. This series introduces young readers to different areas, using very simple sentence structure to describe common main features such as transportation methods, local government, and housing. The text lightly touches upon how different communities can interact, and puts larger society into context for children just starting to learn about the world. Full-page color photos on every other page catch the eye and effectively illustrate concepts. A brief index is provided, and although there is no formal glossary, there is a "words to know" component that shows a picture of an important concept along with the word. VERDICT A basic but informative introduction to a study of communities.

Life in a small town is similar to life in a city, but it's also different in important ways. Readers discover these differences and similarities as they explore what it's like to call a small town home. Colorful photographs of small-town life introduce readers to places such as the town library and town hall. These photographs are accompanied by accessible text designed to reflect early social studies curriculum topics. A helpful picture glossary allows readers to enhance their vocabulary skills as they take a fun tour of a small town.
