Communities: Living Near a River/Living in a Rain Forest/Living in a Desert/Living on a Mountain/Living on a Plain/Living on an Island (Welcome Books)

The universe of emergent-reader nonfiction takes on a whole new face as Children's Press "RM" helps to welcome young children into the wonderful world of reading. Each series within the Welcome Books "TM" program uses an innovative feature to capture the imagination of the young emergent reader. Children are invited to: -- Exercise their observational skills by finding hidden animal pictures in the Hide and Seek series.-- Learn about farm life by spending a day with an actual child who takes care of his or her own farm animals in My Farm.-- Identify geometric shapes while exploring urban environments in City Shapes.-- Find colors in the most expected -- or unexpected -- places in The World of Color.One of the first concepts a young student learns is that of community, which helps a child understand how he or she fits into the world. This series gives young readers a tour of what it's like to live in different kinds of communities all over the world.Joanne Winne is the author of 'Communities: Living Near a River/Living in a Rain Forest/Living in a Desert/Living on a Mountain/Living on a Plain/Living on an Island (Welcome Books)' with ISBN 9780516233758 and ISBN 0516233750.
