Life at Home explains what a home is and then shows what people’s homes were like in the past and now. The text is simple. A two-page spread shows a photograph of what homes were like in the past and a photograph of how most homes look today. The photographs are large and engaging. There is a glossary, index, and a note for parents. This book is part of the Then and Now series. –Michelle Quigley <i>Arlington Independent School District</i> 4/22/2010
