2.0 out of 5 stars not terribly useful, October 19, 2005

voracious reader (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 25 Wacky & Wonderful Stories That Boost Vocabulary (Paperback)
I teach English as a Foreign language and I bought this book hoping it would provide me with a stimulating way to get younger students motivated. It isn't something I'd use.

I'm mystified as to what the target audience age is for this book and it is fairly useless for learners who aren't conversant with English language culture references. Therefore, any humour misses its mark.

This book may be helpful for teachers who teach native speaker children (very young because the jokes and characters are so lame they'd insult an older learner) the finer points of English but it's worthless for ESL or EFL teachers.

Lastly, at just 64 pages the US$10.95 plus shipping cost just isn't worth it. If anyone would like to have my copy, email me and I'll send it to you for the cost of postage. I can't use it at all.
