Katie Woo's neighborhood

On a trip to the post office to mail a present to her grandfather, Katie learns all about how the mail works.

A big storm is approaching, and Katie, her parents, and all her neighbors head to the grocery store to stock up on necessities--and Katie gets a lesson in smart shopping.

Katie is sure it would be fun to be a farmer. All you have to do is plant seeds and watch them grow. Pedro's aunt is a farmer, and she works very hard. Katie will find out just how hard farmers work when she and Pedro help get ready for a day at the farmer's market.

After a trip to the zoo Katie wonders how animals clean their teeth. She asks her dental hygienist at her dental appointment. The hygienist, Ms. Malek, can't answer all of Katie's curious questions. But she still makes Katie's trip to the dentist comfortable and fun. Katie loves her community and that love is shown in Katie Woo's Neighborhood, an early chapter book series by author Fran Manushkin.
