Annotation: This book explains pronouns with a rhyming text and colorful illustrations.
Personal Reaction: this book is an enjoyable way to learn or be refreshed on the uses of pronouns. Colorful drawings catch the reader’s eye and carry it along through all the humorous explanations. It would be great for remedial English classes as well as ESL or even adult literacy classes.
Illustration: Heller’s illustrations take this book from interesting to fascinating reading and learning. The front and back pieces with different candies make a reader want to run right out to the candy store and grab up a bunch for themselves. The pictures of the gifts all wrapped in brightly colored boxes look like a demonstration straight out of Martha Stewart’s world. They help demonstrate the uses of pronouns with humor and style.
Use of Media: The coloring draws the eye to the page and keeps it there despite the subject. This is education without feeling like learning.
