Just Bad, Bad, Bad!
Oh, my goodness! I am not even quite sure how to begin this review because there are just so many wrong elements to this book. I guess the best way is just to start at the beginning. This book has animal illustrations and tracing lines for numbers, shapes, and letters. Personally, I think in books like this that shapes should come first, as understanding shapes can help you understand how to form both numbers and letters. But that is not the biggest problem of this book! If only!
The numbers section: Each number’s part within this section started off normally. Count animals, and put the number beneath the picture. This page was slightly problematic, as the author did not capitalize the *I* at the start of the sentence where they are supposed to write the number. I’m a firm believer in good grammar in children’s books because children are such learning sponges, soaking up knowledge from everywhere. I was actually shocked, though, on the next page when the author has the child trace the name of the number. Even though the directions are written in English, and English is everywhere else in the rest of this book, the name of the number is given in Italian! Uno, otto, etc.! For. Every. Single. Number. So, unless you are wanting to teach your child the Italian names for the numbers—which I don't recommend as this book of meant to be a first workbook in learning how to write—you may not want to use this portion of the book, or you may want to add your own tracings of the numbers’ words in English.
The shapes section: One thing that struck me as odd is that the author always called these shapes, whatever the shape, “lines.” Even the tracings for circles were called "circle lines"! Say, what! He gave some shapes strange names. For instance, what are clearly triangles in the middle of this section are called “hearth” lines. There is a triangle page, too, later. Just bizarre!
The letters section: This book is unusual for a tracing book because it shows both uppercase and lowercase of standard printed letters as well as cursive. While I myself am not a fan of the decreasing use (and teaching) of cursive, the execution of it in this book was not good. The cursive letters are not the standard ones I learned just under fifty years ago in the US. They had some odd affectations that I've never seen in anybody's cursive writing, like loopy, slightly left-leaning slants and embellishments that are certainly not standard cursive as taught in the US. The letter P in this book, both uppercase and lowercase cursive, is almost unreadable and looks nothing like I've ever seen for the letter P; the lowercase as written would be an anathema to any teacher! Frankly, I only know it is supposed to be the letter P because it is on that page!
The tracing lines for letters and numbers are the standard thick baseline and topline with a dashed line in the middle to help orient the different parts of the letters for the new child writer so that the parts will be properly spaced. Unfortunately, especially in the lowercase cursive writing (but also with the standard printed letters), the actual tracings of the letters seem to be put within this bigger, three-part line completely willy-nilly. Sometimes the letters were inappropriately near the topline so that the parts that needed to be below the middle line never were; sometimes what should have been below the middle line was straddled on it or even above it. So the cursive section was completely wrong for both lowercase and uppercase letters, and the lowercase printed letters had similar middle-line issues as well. Even if you want to teach your child cursive because it isn’t taught in schools, this is not the book to do it with.
Some animal choices were just strange in the letter part, too. N for narwhal and X for xerus (which is not precisely an animal but a genus of an African ground squirrel). How about something simple for N, like newt or nutria? Again, as this book is for beginner writers and reads, give them easy animals so they have the chance of sounding out the word.
As you can tell, this is a very odd and disappointing book. Seriously, a tracing book for children who are just starting to write should be much more clear, precise, and standard than this one. Avoid it like the plague.
