feels mean spirited and with a confusing point? also could potentially make people who do speak in this way feel bad or targeted so would not use in a storytime. There are so many different dialects and accepted vernaculars in english and I don't think this is sensitive to that.
This funny book is great for storytimes! As an added bonus, it makes a grammar lesson interesting. The only drawback I see is that it requires an animated reader to be read aloud, otherwise the story will fall flat.
This a great book about grammar (verb conjugations) and it is hilarious. I really want to request student volunteers to read the book before we review it in the library and then have them read it out loud/act it out for the class.
Oh, Donkey. What a character! Great lead into discussing homonyms.
Speaking as a grammar bug, I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion, but it sure is cute and funny.
Hilarious story that helps kids hear what it sounds like to speak with correct grammar, and also introduce kids to conjugating verbs.
At work, a little boy requested this book. After I found it, he recommended it to me, saying emphatically, "I love this book; it is my favorite. I remember it a lot." He then read it to his younger brother, laughing the whole time. Dear reader, I was SOLD.
This is a really cute, silly book. I don't agree with grammar policing, and some probably see this book encouraging bad grammar, which... misses the point. It's a cautionary tale against grammar policing. Also, I love twisted endings. AND it made that little boy laugh and share it with his younger brother! That makes it worth a read, right?
