- Latest Review: Launchpad Republic by Howard Wolk and John Landry
Colorful detailed images accompany the poetic phrases. Children can point out the objects spoken of in the story.
Some of the lines are hard to read or interpret to children just learning these words.
As a new parent I know I'll be reading their favorites every night and I don't think this book would make it.
The pattern of 'Adjective, Name, and Action's misses the mark.
Capitalizing every word with associated letter is an 'adorable art flaw' and makes it hard to distinguish Names from verbs, and Objects from adjectives.
Spelling error depending on word use: as an adjective it's Cutie-pie. As an adverb or object its Cutie pie.
Name error: Dog Dots or Dog named Dots?
Horse named Hero
Kitten named Kitty
Monkey named Mario and so on.
Golfing items aren't g-words.
...'Ice cream cone and looking' the and makes it a complete sentence.
...'telling Jokes while playing'
'Nut friends' is vague not descriptors like the book pattern. Try PeaNut or acorn Nut.
Parrot named Polly find pineapple by (not under) the Palm tree. Under sounds like pineapples fall from palm trees.
Q-tee? Doesn't follow (adjective, name, action) pattern.
Tee? Not Tee T? Doesn't follow name pattern.
Tigers named Theo and Tara doesn't follow sounds pattern by using the 'Th' instead of 'Tuh' and throws off pattern.
Ulla U is a hard name to pronounce for English and non-native English speakers. 'You-la?' 'Oo-ya?' 'You'll-ya?'
Spelling error: X-ray not X Ray
"Yellow" Yi, Yak named Yolanda
Spelling error: Zigzagging is one word or hyphenated, not two words.
The breathy review on the back of the book would make any parent cringe and maybe not buy the book!
Paraphrase key-words with big bold text!
Get the key points of the story across in short lines to match the pattern of the story inside. That way parents know how the story will read.
More often children's books are wrapped in plastic and you can't open and read a page without buying.
