Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gorgeous illustrations!
Review: Good fun for 3-8 yrs. Everybody knows that a group of fish is a school, or a bunch of ships is a fleet. But what do you call several peacocks, or a group of kittens, or a gathering of witches? Puzzeled?

This is the first childrens book I have come across that could answer those questions for children, with many more collective nouns to spare. Good illustrations, relatively quick read, and interesting and easy for children to follow. Mega points for originality!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Gorgeous illustrations!
Review: In addition to being a great way to learn about what groups of objects are called (I even learned a few new ones) the vibrant colors of the illustrations are incredible. I even got a used copy to take apart so I could put some of the pictures up in my son's playroom - they are that nice.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A literate and fun exploration of collective nouns
Review: This is a great way to teach about collective nouns. It also makes a great starting point for students' own writing pieces and word collections.
