I bought this book for my son’s second grade class, since I was asked to come in as a “mystery reader.” The kids were really engaged, and loved looking for clues in the illustrations. It’s a well done, and its message is positive and inclusive. I absolutely recommend it!

Five friends join the street fair to help their community raise money for the library. The children check out each of the various activities and learn more about their community. They learn how they can fit in and make a difference.Each page has bright, colorful illustrations that are full of detail. The pictures help tell the story. Each page has a description of what the children find as they visit each part of the street fair. Then in bold print the author tells why that particular person is contributing to their community. At the back of the book are instructions on how to make a puzzle that illustrates community. There is also a glossary for those harder to understand words. This book would be a great addition to a classroom or home school curriculum. The book encourages unselfishness, awareness of others, kindness, compassion, and respect of others. It also opens up the opportunity for dialogue about community.I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.
3.0 out of 5 stars Use as a resource for introducing a community or how to support local businesses, not much of a story
A child's introduction to the community, and how to support local businesses, how to make the community a better place, and how to be a good citizen.This doesn't flow as a story so much. It's definitely meant to be used more as a nonfiction book with youngsters learning about their community (looks best suited to lower elementary). The last page is a search-and-find for the main characters introduced in previous pages, but I didn't feel like they did a good enough job introducing any of them to be able to pick them out of a crowd (especially when the artist's illustration style makes many of the people look similar). Anyway, the main content is good, definitely can see lower grade social studies classes using this, just skip the last spread.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bright and fun and informative!
This is a cute and fun informative book for children about communities. The story follows five friends and their dog as they enjoy a street fair that is raising money for their local library. Including a yard sale, car wash, community clean up, a lemonade stand at a retirement home,a community garden and lots of fun activities the multicultural group of children experience their community and have lots of fun. The book ends with an art activity and a glossary. I like the bright, colorful illustrations and think this book will be fun to read and use in schools and homes. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good content.
I have purchased both versions; online and the hard copy. I implemented this book into my ELA lessons for 3rd graders. I was able to create multiple lesson activities based on this book. The book contents good amount of information about the types of communities we live in. Lots of visuals, colorful, and well detailed. Students referred to the book constantly for vocabulary words and to explore the ilustration. The pictures are beautiful. Also, it includes an extra activity idea to use in the classroom.
