This book was not only fun but educational. I found myself identifying parts of the sentences as I was reading (noun, verb, adjective..) the book, I had to laugh at myself. This is a great learning tool for children as well as adults. Sometimes you may take for granted the things that you know until you realize, you really didn't know that much. Great book that children will have fun reading while learning.

This book sounds so adorable! Thank you for writing a review, I just love the plot you’ve described and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the reimagined George Washington!

This review was on point with this book. I completely agree about the illustrations being cute, simple, and cartoonish. As an adult, I also enjoyed this children’s book and the words in handwriting added to the quirkiness of this book.

How great to have a fun story about birds be an educational book for kids. This sounds like a book I would love to read with my kids.

Amazing review. I love the concept of this book and what better way for children to expand their vocabulary. I will read this book to my nephews. Love the cover and title, the illustrations are great.

What a great review for a cute book! And I agree with you, I thought it was helpful that the author grouped the words together into categories - having examples makes a concept much easier to learn.

I love this review. it is obvious that you enjoyed reading this book and I am also tempted to read it too to my siblings so they can improve in their vocabularies as they are just developing competency in English proficiency. The new words used can honestly help them develop!

This sounds perfect for my nephew. He just started reading but this sounds perfect for his ADD. he especially lives food so the grocery scene will capture his interest automatically.

This is so good! I love it! The main reason being my daughter is learning the differences between nouns and adverbs and adjectives. This book really made the learning experience fun! :D

I absolutely loved the book! I saw the portrait as well! I can already see myself reading it to my third grade class. We'd have a great time discussing the story. The attention to detail is spot on and I loved the facial expression of one bird when Priscilla first went to the library. Great review!
