TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chapter One

A Neighbor
Needs Help

Malik! called my new
neighbor. Buddys run away,
and Im so worried! Can you
help me find him?

A neighborhood
is a group of people
and buildings in one
area. Neighborhoods
are sometimes called
communities.

Sure, Mrs. Z., I said. I know
this neighborhood better than
anybody! Ill tell Dad where Im
going. Then Ill meet you out front.

Dad and I met Mrs. Z. on the sidewalk. Why do you
think Buddy ran? I asked.
We used to live on a farm in the country, she said.

There was a lot of open space to run.
Buddy forgets he lives in a neighborhood now.

Neighborhoods in
the city have many
buildings and houses.
Rural neighborhoods
in the country have
fewer buildings
and people.

The park has lots of open
space, I said. Lets start
there! Dad said he could help.
We hurried in that direction,
calling Buddys name.

Chapter Two

Searching the
Neighborhood

My best friend lives in an apartment by
the park. I ran up the steps and rang the
buzzer. Elena, can you help us find Buddy?

Apartment
buildings have
different homes
and families under
one roof. Some city
neighborhoods have
many apartment
buildings.

Mr. Roberts was waiting at the bus stop and
heard us calling Buddy. A dog was barking over
there. He pointed up the hill at the school. Ill
help you search. My shopping can wait!

Well cover more ground if we split up, Mr.
Roberts said. He and Mrs. Z. headed uphill. The
rest of us kept going toward the park. We passed a
lemonade stand. The kids there hadnt seen Buddy.

My babysitter Olivia was at the park playing
basketball. We asked if shed seen a black-
and- white dog running loose. I havent, she
said, but why dont you climb to the top of
the slide? Youll be able to see farther.

We didnt see Buddy, but we did see a worker high
up in a bucket truck. She shook her head at our
question. Sorry, kids. I havent seen him, and
when Im up there, I can see all the way from
Johnson Street to Park Street.

Big cities
are known as
urban areas. Urban
neighborhoods have
many people, buildings,
and businesses,
often close
together.

Chapter Three

A New Idea

Maybe we should hang a Lost
Dog sign somewhere, I said.
Good idea! Dad answered.
We can walk over to the coffee
shop and leave one there.

Neighborhoods
just outside of
bigger cities are
called suburbs. These
neighborhoods
often have many
homes but few
businesses.

Wed better go home and get paper
and markers to make a sign, I said.

We headed down a different block, still calling
for Buddy. We met Mrs. Z. and Mr. Roberts.
I told them about our idea for a sign.

Ive got the perfect photo of
Buddy we can add, said Mrs. Z.
