[Note: These are all materials that I used to supplement the lesson 22 The Neighborhood p.58-59 from Oxford Picture Dictionary Content Areas for Kids, and the specific choice of vocabulary in the storybook is influenced by that lesson.   But I believe this material could also be used independently for any lesson on place vocabulary, so I'm posting it here.]
