There are patriotic poultry wearing polka dotted pants and Japanese jaguars in a jostling judo joust. Although I found this book a bit overwhelming and exhausting to keep up with, it would be a great way to introduce alliteration to students, as well as a vast array of vocabulary words. I believe children would surely get a kick out of the wacky stories as well. This book could also inspire them to use their own creativity and imagination when writing stories. Okay, this book is a little bit exhausting to read. It's a series of alliterative vignettes, loosely connected by a skywriting aardvark. (Please, don't ask.) They're... long. Funny, hilarious, uproarious - but long. As an example, let's take a look at X, which is pretty short because, y'know, X. "Xerxes Ox excused Rex from the exercise exhibition by the six expert executives after he became exhausted from excessive exertion." I know, you think 26 letters of that isn't too bad, right? P is twice as long, and M is longer still! So this is clearly not the book to read right before bedtime, or when you have five minutes between now and recess. This is the one you pull out on the plane. As long as we're clear on this, we're set. It's a bit wordy for smaller children (well, duh) and the vocabulary is definitely not suited for even erudite toddlers (now I'm doing it. Sorry.) Save it for the kids 4 or 5 and older. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
