Overview / 简介: |
What's a pronoun? How do you use it? Do you say "These candies are for him and me"--or "he and I?" In this addition to her acclaimed language series, Ruth Heller uses rhythmic verse and stunningly rich illustrations to show young readers how playful language can really be.
"Bold, handsome illustrations accompanied by a jaunty, rhymed text demonstrate the importance of pronouns with panache." --The Horn Book
* A Picture Puffin * Full-color illustrations * 48 pages * Ages 3-8 |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Grade 1-6?Once again, Heller has taken a part of speech and made its function perfectly and entertainingly clear. This time it's pronouns?personal, possessive, demonstrative, indefinite, reflexive, intensive, interrogative, and relative. From cover to cover, the stylishly drawn, brilliantly colored, double-paged illustrations grab readers and don't let go. The exceptionally fluent, rhythmic text is printed in an unobtrusive font with pronouns highlighted in bright blue. Like Up, Up and Away (1991) and Kites Sail High (1988, both Grosset), Mine, All Mine is at its very best when read aloud. "Demonstrative pronouns make it clear. Those are far. These are near. They point out decisively. This is she and that is he." While younger readers are an obvious audience, be sure to introduce this title and its counterparts to elementary-grade language-arts teachers and their students. Who would have thought pronouns could be such fun?? |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
We are three teachers and a media specialist from a middle school in Utah. We have just read the book Mine, All Mine by Ruth Heller. We believe that the intended audience of this book is middle to high school, while it disguises itself as a children's book. As English teachers we would rate this book five stars in teaching our middle schoolers about uses of pronouns. But if a small child read this book, he or she would not enjoy or understand it. Just from the title, we may not have picked up this book to use in the classroom. Consequently, both audiences might be turned off. We would, however, use this book as a read-aloud with our seventh graders. We feel there is some good information presented in a fun way. |
