Imagining who lives next door

Mr. Bell’s lack of familiarity with his neighbors leaves room for wild guesses: perhaps they wear bowls as hats or walk backwards. This picture book builds its premise around the gap between what is known and what is imagined, using fanciful possibilities to bring curiosity about neighbors into focus. Its subject is how easily assumptions can grow when people have not taken the time to get to know one another.

Children ages 4–8, the stated audience for the book.
Families and educators seeking a picture book about neighbors, curiosity, and assumptions.
Suitable to consider for shared read-aloud time, as the publisher describes it as a read-aloud.

Book overview

The people next door might be weird.

At least, that's what Mr. Bell thinks.

After all, he doesn't actually know them.

And when you don't know your neighbors, it's easy to imagine all sorts of strange things.

Maybe they wear bowls for hats.

Maybe they walk backwards everywhere.

Maybe they're even stranger than that.

Filled with humor, imagination, and surprising heart, The People Next Door Might Be Weird is a delightfully original picture book that celebrates curiosity and reminds readers that there's often more to people than meets the eye.

A memorable read-aloud for ages 4-8 that will have children laughing, guessing, and eager to turn the page.
