Presents a basic introduction to homonyms, homophones, and homographs, including how to use context clues to distinguish between words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. From School Library Journal: Gr 2–5—This series attempts to make grammar seem engaging. Though Johnson tries hard to communicate delight, bland statements such as "Words are magical!" will leave readers cold. Some books take too long to get going or fully define concepts, beginning instead with an overly general introduction praising the magic of language. The artwork includes some authentic looking children. However, the kids' overacting and exaggerated expressions often detract from the seriousness of the text. Subpar cartoons, wacky costumes, and overly bright, cluttered pages also distract. VERDICT Not recommended. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
