This book will fill the ‘outlier’ spot in the primary grades COMMUNITY units.

Three reasons are stated for why homes move and not just the people: “so  their animals can find food” ( p.5), “to sell things in different places “ (p. 6), and “to see new places.” ( p. 7) These moving homes shown inside and out include: house boats, mobile homes, and tents- both past and present.

There are one or two large font print sentences beneath each photo on each page.

Last but not least from page 24, there is a list of countries of where these photos /homes are from: Kerala, India; Turmi, Africa; Daraw, Egypt; United States; Kashmir, India; Marseille, France; Russia; Omnogov, Asia; Khovsgol Province, Mongolia; Kyrgyzstan; Tunisia; Canada; County Mayo, Ireland; and Bamiyan, Afghanistan.  ... “Discuss how homes provide us with a place to eat and sleep, and keep people and their things safe from the weather.”

Wow, I need to get out and see more of this world!
