Many Luscious Lollipops is one of the many books in a series by Ruth Heller. All her books are about the parts of speech that intend to be fun to read while also learning! This particular book is about adjectives. I enjoyed reading this book for a few reasons. First, the illustrations are beautiful. The book has bright and vivid pictures that are lovely to look at while I'm reading the story. For example, on one of the pages, it describes a wet, rainy day. The entire two pages it covers are completely colored in dark, dreary colors. It really makes you feel what the author is writing. Second, the author has a really great way of telling the readers about adjectives in a cool way. It makes the book that much better to read. For example, "Treat Proper Adjectives the same as any other proper name..a Persian rug, an Irish setter. They always begin with a capital letter." The author twists the words to make it seem like you're not actually learning. The main idea of this book is to teach you about adjectives but in a fun way! ( )
