This book for emergent readers shares concise and fascinating information about pocket parks. Placed on small lots of land, these parks are sometimes no bigger than a parking space. Large, colorful photographs reinforce the details described and feature pocket parks from across the United States.

Other potential teaching points include identifying main idea and details, summarizing information, and adjectives.
