Review

This is a well written non-fiction picture book that defines alliteration. There are many humorous examples they go well with the illustrations to both teach and entertain. The concept is made into fun. It is easy to follow by the use of colored text to show what words are being used in the alliteration. There are two pages showing lists of alliteration examples with one, two or more letters, or by sounds. followed by words to go with the letter. Useful as writing prompts. Recommended, age appropriate and easy to understand this grammar concept.

Overall Book Score: very good
