Chips and Cheese and Nana's Knees: What Is Alliteration?

32 pp. | Millbrook | April, 2015 | Library ISBN 978-1-4677-2649-8 $17.95
(4) K-3 Words Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Martin Goneau. Cleary's colorful cats coach the concept (see what we did there?) of alliteration for elementary-age readers. This is Cleary's usual schtick: forced rhymes introduce a term and provide examples, ad infinitum, while the cartoon cats provide exaggerated comic relief in the garishly hued illustrations. Alliterative words are highlighted in the text to aid comprehension. A final chart with examples reinforces lessons learned.
