Description

A girl and her family live in an apartment. Readers will see how an apartment is the same as or different from where they live. The coauthors are Elena Castro & Eddie Hernández.

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid who's curious about how other people live, this sweet little book hits the spot. It follows a young girl as she shows readers around her apartment, pointing out what makes it special while also noticing how it's similar to houses and other places. What I really like is how it encourages kids to think about their own homes in a new way whether they live in a house, apartment, or anywhere else, they'll enjoy spotting the things they have in common with this family. At just 138 words, it's perfect for brand-new readers who want something they can actually finish on their own, and the comparison element gives it a little more substance than a typical easy reader. Parents will appreciate that it normalizes apartment living without being preachy about it. If your kiddo loves "Living in a House" or similar home-themed books, they'll definitely want to add this one to their stack.
