I don't know what it is exactly, but my daughter LOVES this book. We read it over and over again every single day- and she's only 14 months old! We don't read all of the text because she is too young to sit still for that, but I read the captions on each page (which still flows like a story), and we talk about the pictures. I'm currently ordering a second copy (she hasn't learned yet to be careful with paper pages and has ripped most of them), and I'm ordering a few other books by the same author.

This book is not typical of so many kids books on the market today. It relates information about other cultures, friendship, and learning in a way that does not speak down to children. Rather, this book shows how people around the world live, and illustrated that the values and ideas that make good neighbors and friends are universal. In addition to informative (and yet very kid-friendly) text, Be My Neighbor is packed with photos that will intricgue children of many ages. I purchased this book for our three-year old, and though it is intended for slighly older children, he was drawn in immediately by the photos and the discussion about what makes friends and neighbors special. I recommend this book highly and am very pleased to have found it.
