What’s Inside? Neighborhood by Dwell Studios. 2011. 5 pgs. Maplewood, NJ: Blue Apple Books. 9781609051020. Format
reviewed: Board Book.
Annotation: What’s in different places around the neighborhood? Lift the
flap to see what’s inside!
Reaction: The quality of the book is excellent. Although only visiting five
locations- the Firehouse, Hardware Store, the Grocery, the Library, and the
Pizzeria- the places under the flaps are highly detailed, and each place
includes questions for parents to ask to engage in dialogic reader with their
children!
Primary early
literacy skills: Vocabulary. Inside each
location, under the flap, every piece of furniture, object, article of
clothing, and even vehicles are named.
Recommended
ages: 2 and up.
Tags/themes: Buildings, occupations, family life, places.
