Library

From the Set Spot Around Town

What building has the most stories? A library! Developing readers learn about the library in this low-level search-and-find beginning reader.
A library is a great resource with computers and books of all kinds. Fiction, nonfiction, ones for little kids, and ones for grown ups. Early readers will discover reading corners, shelves, and more while learning about libraries.
A search-and-find book about libraries reinforces new vocabulary to build reading success while close-up images captivate young audiences. A great early social studies book to inspire learning about communities on field trips for kindergartners and first graders.

SLJ Review of Spot Around Town

Gr 1–3—This series describes activites like riding a bus, flying on a plane, or visiting a zoo. Though the stock photos will not represent readers’ exact community space, reading about the experience before encountering it can reduce some anxiety. In Museum, readers see the ticket desk in the lobby, interactive touchscreens, and a gift shop. Post Office shows how the mail is picked up by mail carrier and sorted for delivery. Each book begins and ends with words and pictures for readers to look for while moving through the book, allowing them to familiarize themselves with words and compound phrases that may be less common to them. Overall, these titles would be useful in most libraries for emerging readers and for neurodivergent readers interested in learning about new experiences. VERDICT Recommended for purchase.
