A small spiral bound book with alternating pages of heavy board and transparency film, it provides basic information for young readers about different types of homes, from prehistoric caves to modern city sky-scrapers.  Each two-page spread (with one tranparency in the middle) is dedicated to a different type of home from a different part of the world, with 4-6 sentences describing its unique features and why they are helpful to the people who live there.  While I know students will be intrigued by the transparent pages, and the information is sound, if scant, I worry about how this type of binding will hold up under library use.  I don’t expect it to last long.
