We recently gave this book to the girls' Granny. She is referred to as the "grammar police" from time to time by family and friends, so this seemed a rather brilliant book for her to share with the grandchildren!
Synopsis:
Gramma asks me about my day, and I say, Me and my friend played soccer. She says, My friend and I played soccer. I say, At your age? Kids and adults alike will laugh aloud at this series of hilarious misconstruals between a child and her grandmother as Gramma corrects the child's grammar!
We all absolutely love this book - it is hilarious. Even the littlies at 2 and 4 enjoy it - or maybe they just enjoy the rest of us getting a kick out of it!? A funny (or alarming) reminder of what's becoming of our language skills.
Gorgeous illustrations accompany this hilarious story. We will be sharing it with many people and it's already a firm favourite.
Linking up with Remaliah hosting this months' Book Club with a fantastic review of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Happy Reading
