  This book is part of a series of books in which young readers are invited to think about the way they relate to other people in the world around them. The text complemented by colour photographs examines the roles each of us fulfils in our daily lives. The subject is presented in such a way as to make it relevant to the experience of children themselves. Each book is designed to be an easy reader text, suitable for children in even the very first stages of learning to read. This book is about the things that go to make up our community - the place in which we live and the people who live around us. The book examines different types of community and their different lifestyles. In particular, the author contrasts life in a town with that in a village. The text also stresses the diversity of life within individual communities and points out that even people with different backgrounds and different languages may live together in the same neighbourhood. The book explains how all the people in the community are interdependent and rely on helping one another to create a happy environment in which to live. Michael Pollard is a language specialist.
