If You Were a Contraction

Word Fun

by Trisha Speed Shaskan, Sara Jean Gray (Illustrator), Christianne Jones (Editor)

Reviews

[Molly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad for a books about grammer. They actually diagram in these books but not too much. And they try to make the examples interesting. Overall not bad. Grades 2+
