Beautiful. The pop-up art and paper patterns used are simply beautiful. My two boys loved exploring the pop-up elements, and the collection of animals featured here was very interesting.

Such a clever take on animals who build their homes!

Sheehy, S. (2015) Welcome to the neighborwood. Somerville, MA: Candle Wick Press, Incorporated.
This book would make a good resource for a 1st grade unit about animals and their habitats, which comprises a large portion of the 1st grade science curriculum for Lincoln Public Schools. The book is designed for primary-age students and would make a good read aloud. Teachers could use it to talk about different animals and their habitats within the same ecosystem. Since it’s full of pop-ups and flaps, children would also enjoy reading it alone or with a partner during independent reading time.
I selected this book because I liked that it explains how many different animals living in the same “neighborhood” each have their own unique habitats and are interdependent. I also think the flaps and pop-ups would be an engaging text feature for 1st grade students.

A wonderfully little scientific pop up book that teaches children about different woodland animals, their specific habitats, and how they work together as neighbours.
It brings the fun of a children pop up book, with its amazingly elaborate pop up homes, to learning and science.

This is definitely a favorite with my kids - it's a pop-up book about seven different animals that live in the forest. Each one is a builder in its own right, born with the tools and the know-how they need for constructing their different homes. There is the land snail living in its own mobile home, the hummingbird is a master at building nests and hiding them, the garden spider spins its sticky, intricate webs, the honeybee and its hive, the potter wasp who builds a kind of lunch box for its offspring, the beaver who creates its own habitat complete with underwater entry tunnels, and finally, the stickleback, builder of an underwater nest for the mother of his offspring. Sheehy includes a fair amount of age appropriate information about all of these creatures, with accompanying pop-up of them in their environment. He brings it all together with a pop-up of their neighbors, stressing the interdependence and harmony in which they reside in the "Neighborwood."
