Review

This is a fun read aloud, great for personification, and has an interesting way to use the examples in a presentation. The illustrations are watercolor. Different students were asked to make a presentation on different figurative language. One little girl has to present on personification, and she spends much time outside letting nature talk to her. When it's her time to present, there is a fire drill. She asks if they can go on a field trip to show the kids. "The bench was calling her name. The water fountainHiccuped."

Overall Book Score: very good
