A Cache of Jewels: And Other Collective Nouns (World of Language)

This book is a wonderful adventure into the world of language for young children.I am an ESL teacher for grades K-2 and this book is one that engages and teaches the function of nouns as well as providing beautiful illustrations. The kids love them and it provides a valuable tool for enhancing reading and writing skills. I discovered these books in a graduate level class and they are all a wonderful addition to any classroom teacher's library. Ms Heller is truly an artist and an author that captivates a young child's creative spirit.

The author really enjoys what she is writing about and you can tell. These really help the kids learn the parts of speech and opens the door to discussion. It helps students commit the information to memory.

My wife and my granddaughter loved the book. Well written and illustrated, and kids should love it. Ruth Heller has produced a classic children's book that Mom and Dad may sneak out for a quick read. It should go next to Dr. Seuss books (she loved Dr. Seuss books) on your child's bookshelf.

This book is in excellent condition and was a favorite of my kinder students. Presenting it to my grands now to enhance their vocabulary.

We have the language series by Ruth Heller, and love it. The illustrations are incredible, and really help make learning language fun. Plus, we use the books for our homeschool art classes too! They are a tremendous inspiration for the girls when painting.

This is great! I use it as an intro for my students on collective nouns. The visuals really help bring it to life.

I checked this book out of the public library at age seven. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that it was not a book about gemology and jewelry. The illustrations are absolutely luscious, but grammar is still boring, at least to seven year olds...

I am a teacher and one of our standards in 2nd grade is to understand collective nouns. Let me tell you that there is not much on collective nouns. This book made my students completely understand. They were even quoting collective nouns they found and related it to the book. Great for learning!

This book is about grammar. This particular one is about collective nouns. I love the series, each book is on a different part of the speech. It's written in rhymes and has amazing illustrations. A terrific teaching tool. I highly recommend it.

I thought I would leave this review, because some of the other ones indicated that there weren't many and I almost didn't buy the book because of it. There are actually 28 illustrated collective nouns (and a few more, non-illustrated collective nouns on the back". Haven't tried it with the kids yet, but I've learned some new ones myself.

children loved it that simple thank you miss Heller, educational , inspirational , an absolute delight, would recommend to others, look forwards to reading more of miss heerss work
