Book Reviews of How to Speak Politely & Why
Book Review: I LOVE this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm so glad this book remains in print. I loved it when I was a child and I continue to love it now. It was previously titled "Grammar Can Be Fun." I love the drawings and they really help to teach the lessons of good grammar. I can't recommend it enough! It is something I frequently gift to kids and I bought a new copy for myself too. (I do prefer the old title, though I can understand that a book titled with "grammar" isn't exactly going to jump off the shelf!) This book really does make grammar fun. A must-have for a children's book library.
Summary of How to Speak Politely & Why
Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar without nagging. It aims to remove "ain't" and "uh-huh" and "gimme" and "got" and a score of unfortunate nuances by a simple, sure painless and humorous process. In his signature style of amusing stick figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not say "he done it" or "she come."Exasperated parents (and grandparents) faced with the unpleasant task of dealing with grammatical lapses acquired by their children from (gasp!) their neighbor's children will be delighted (and relieved) by this veritable "grammar without tears." Teachers will find it an indispensable ally, and even the culprits themselves-the children-will discover that learning to speak politely and correctly isn't such a chore after all.
