Adorable and clever. Good reference tool for beginning writers.

Using the tale of the three blind mice and the farmer's wife to teach literary terminology in a fun way is a stroke of genius! This book will make students look forward to learning about literary terms or just hearing or seeing the next story in the book. For a special treat, check out the section on mechanics, "Three Blind Lice." Plus, Joost Swarte's illustrations, while simple, add tons of entertainment value as well.

Good for teens interested in creative writing.

This is a clever little book which explores and explains different literary devices and terms. One will never be able to read a nursery rhyme and take it at face value again! Perfect for budding student writers.
