"What type of community do you live in? Do you live in the city? Or do you live in a town or rural area? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you lived somewhere else? This volume explores the similarities and differences between several types of communities, focusing in particular on urban, suburban, and rural areas. Sidebars encourage young readers to engage with the material, while the glossary helps expand language skills. Sure to inspire a lively discussion, this title works well with lower elementary social studies curricula"--.
