“New in the “Community Books” series, this book’s rhyming prose makes it an easy read for those just learning to form words. Everyone is important in the neighborhood and community, according to Saks. …Whether born in the neighborhood or from far away, neighbors are an important piece of their community. …Although the neighborhood of this book is a cityscape, the points are made so children in suburban or rural homes will understand that their neighborhood may be different, but it, too, has its own symphony. ”
