Highly informative and beautifully illustrated, this work offers a perfect blend of pleasure and learning. The engaging illustrations and delightful vocabulary are sure to captivate young readers. The author, inspired by her experiences as a P.T.A. library chairman and her love for reading to her children, has been immersed in children's literature for years. Influenced by classic writers like Hillaire Belloc, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Dr. Seuss, she has developed a unique style that has evolved over time, becoming more elaborate than her earlier, more succinct writing. Her commitment to writing a series on the parts of speech began with a promise made in the back of one of her books, and she is now completing the final installment after a decade of work. The creative process starts with determining the content for each page, which then informs the illustrations. While the words guide the visuals, the author often explores new research to find the perfect fit. Throughout her writing journey, she has rediscovered and learned many aspects of grammar, recognizing the challenges of traditional textbooks and her own occasional misuse of the language. The images chosen for her books reflect her passions, including candy, sea creatures, and carousels, ensuring that each illustration resonates with her love for the subject matter.
