I've fiddled around with concept books a lot over the past, um, many years. At one point, long before I created picture book neighborhoods, I had a collection of concept books. After that, I distributed them throughout the collection with genre stickers. In my most recent update of the neighborhood collection, I created a separate section for them, which is specifically for those titles that are alphabet books, counting books, and a few on shapes and colors. I also created an updated concept sticker which I still use occasionally throughout the collection. Concept books are rather out of style now, so this is a small collection.
