My Review
THE KNOW-NONSENSE GUIDE TO GRAMMAR was such a fun book! The illustrations added so much and were especially entertaining. The various grammar terms were clearly explained and presented in a simple way perfect for kids. A great way to help kids learn more about grammar and as a reference when a grammar term needs to be looked up. Highly recommended!

My Review
POETRY FOR KIDS: EMILY DICKINSON was a very sweet book. The illustrations were all in pastels and matched the light, short poems of Dickinson included. Poems are organized by season with an illustration on each page. Presented in a simple way ideal for children, making it a great way to introduce them to this well-known poet's work.
