TARGET: (ELEM) Books about communities

[Jan Sullivan <JanNws@AOL.COM>]

I am hoping to tap your wonderful, collective knowledge!  We are needing to
add to our current resources about communities (living in the city, in the
suburbs, in rural areas).  I am looking for books, fiction or non-fiction,
and/or AV titles that would be appropriate for grades 2 and 3.  A few recent
purchases I have made include:

_What is a Community?_  Bobbie Kalman  (Crabtree, c2000)
_Communities_ Lisa Trumbauer (Capstone, c2001)
_I Live in a City_ Stasia Ward Kehoe (PowerKids Press, c1999)
_I Live in a Town_
_I Live on a Farm_

I also have a few older (OK, ancient!) titles.  I've checked the archives and
can't seem to find any previous HITs on this subject, but maybe I am using
incorrect search terms.  I have printed out some stuff from Carol Hurst's
excellent children's literature site on cities, towns, and farms.  (Thanks,
Carol!)

Do you have other suggestions?  I'll gladly post a HIT if others are
interested in this topic too.   TIA for your help!
