A Cache of Jewels: And Other Collective Nouns (World of Language)

The author really enjoys what she is writing about and you can tell. These really help the kids learn the parts of speech and opens the door to discussion. It helps students commit the information to memory.

This book is in excellent condition and was a favorite of my kinder students. Presenting it to my grands now to enhance their vocabulary.

This book is a wonderful adventure into the world of language for young children.I am an ESL teacher for grades K-2 and this book is one that engages and teaches the function of nouns as well as providing beautiful illustrations. The kids love them and it provides a valuable tool for enhancing reading and writing skills. I discovered these books in a graduate level class and they are all a wonderful addition to any classroom teacher's library. Ms Heller is truly an artist and an author that captivates a young child's creative spirit.

I used this series for my children many decades and now for my grandchildren.

My wife and my granddaughter loved the book. Well written and illustrated, and kids should love it. Ruth Heller has produced a classic children's book that Mom and Dad may sneak out for a quick read. It should go next to Dr. Seuss books (she loved Dr. Seuss books) on your child's bookshelf.

This is great! I use it as an intro for my students on collective nouns. The visuals really help bring it to life.

My students love reading these books when learning about different grammar!

I am a teacher and one of our standards in 2nd grade is to understand collective nouns. Let me tell you that there is not much on collective nouns. This book made my students completely understand. They were even quoting collective nouns they found and related it to the book. Great for learning!

it should have ben more obvious that this was a childrens book

I hoped for a variety of collective nouns for my five 4-10 year old grandchildren to enjoy and learn. I found only about five or six, one to a page and beautifully illustrated in the whole book.

Nicely put together publication and ideally suitable for young children. For older children and adults it is necessary to search further afield for listings of collective nouns.

Good

This book is about grammar. This particular one is about collective nouns. I love the series, each book is on a different part of the speech. It's written in rhymes and has amazing illustrations. A terrific teaching tool. I highly recommend it.
