Where We Live series.
These small square books provide basic introductions to some of the spaces people live in around the world. The texts employ repetition of words and phrases, which will help new readers gain confidence but which make for dull narratives. The diverse, vivid images are identified in the back matter, but this information would have been more effectively placed within the text itself. Map. Glos., ind. Review covers these Where We Live titles: City Homes and Homes That Move.
