FS: Ruth Heller Book ~ Merry-Go-Round
Merry-Go-Round A Book About Nouns by Ruth Heller
Paper back
Very good condition
Asking $6.50 ppd
Kindergarten-Grade 6-- Nouns of all kinds are the subject of Heller's series
of books on parts of speech. Common, proper, abstract, concrete, compound,
and collective nouns are all defined and shown by example in usually lilting
verse. Singular, plural, and possessive forms of nouns are also thoroughly
covered, and determiners are explained and demonstrated.
The rhyme form is used with amazing skill but now and then seems forced as
in, "Nouns are highly effective./ The last kind of NOUN is . . .
COLLECTIVE." How and why they work are not explained. Striking graphic
design with large clear objects in bold colors overflowing each double-page
spread make the book a visual treat. The use of bold type for all the nouns
is particularly pleasing and will make for easy reading aloud. Heller's
language books challenge users' creativity since the concepts are difficult
for the picture-book format. Conversely, the verse and illustrations can
delight very young children while older readers are sure to find the concise
definitions clearer and certainly more entertaining than any grammar text.
