4.0

On the first read, as an adult, there doesn’t appear to be much substance: just a boy walking his dog at dusk, peering in neighborhood windows as he walks by, listing things he sees. However, I can see this being a lot of fun to read with small children, having them point out what they see in other windows in the book and/or encouraging them to make up stories about the lives of the people behind those windows.
