Sitting on those steps mean a lot to the little girl. This book explores different adventures while sitting on the porch. For students in rural area school, they can have the opportunity to see what it's like to be in an urban district.

My steps is a great book to get play ideas to spend with you child or student. Nowadays with technology, children do not go out and play much but i think this is a good read to inspire children to go outside and play. :)

Such a cute book about how kids can have an entire world in such a small space -in this instance, the small space is five front steps.

Not every kid has a yard to play in. What I liked about this book was it shows how kids can use their imaginations to make the most of their space and that play can happen anywhere.

This book is about a little girl who talks about the different things that she does on the front steps of her house. Her steps mean a lot to her, because she spends most of her time there.
