Do you live in a townhouse, apartment, or perhaps a mobile home? Pictures show each type of house and in most cases the people who live in them. Within the houses, there are a variety of rooms: the kitchen, family room, bathroom, and bedroom. Some houses have big yards and offer an opportunity for family gatherings. The text is full of questions making it a bit more interactive than some in the series. There are several words in the text that are bolded, but there is no other key or explanation. It would be up to the adult working with the reader to follow up with the definitions. Unlike many readers of this type, the vocabulary words are listed on the opening page, and the closing page includes several notes to adults about the content and focus of the book and a suggested activity, which is in addition to the related activities presented on prior pages. Simple declarative sentences on crisp white pages accompanied by photographs of children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds make this an attractive book. It is a level "E" book in the "My World" series. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
