This review is from: Hamster Holidays: Noun & Adjective Adventures (Paperback)

This adorable book is part of the Pet Grammar Parade Series and Academic Wings books published by Guardian Angel Publishing.

Author Cynthia Reeg has put together a great story about child-friendly hamsters celebrating their own special holidays throughout the year. This book is actually printed in several different colors of ink to teach your child nouns (ink) and adjectives (blue or red ink). The regular text appears in black. The funny hamsters, aptly illustrated by Kit Grady, lead your child from one exciting holiday to the next: New Hat Day on January 1, Stick Horse Day on February 15, and Kite Dance Day on March 10. Can you guess the names of the other nine holidays that hamsters celebrate? You will just have to read this wonderful book to find out what they are!

The hamsters cavort across the pages to lead your child through twelve whacky hamster holidays while teaching nouns and adjectives along the way. Ms. Reeg does an excellent job with her precise text and layout of each holiday. Your child will also find a calendar at the bottom of each page that highlights the holiday date, making the calendar an additional learning tool. Parents and teachers will love this book for the study guide and all the word activities, word match-ups, word scrambles, and puzzles located at the back of the book, after the final holiday of the hamster year--Toy Parade Day, December 6.

I give this book a high-five for the excellent learning tools author Cynthia Reeg has included to make learning so much fun and for the colorful, kid-friendly illustrations by Kit Grady. This book is definitely a keeper!
