Behind the Mask: A Book about Prepositions (World of Language)
Gr. 2^-4. From the series that includesKites Sail High: A Book about Verbs(1988) andA Cache of Jewels and Other Collective Nouns(1989), this volume explores yet another part of speech: prepositions. Although the rhyming text contorts sentence structure from time to time, it provides many examples of prepositions (printed in large, blue type) as well as some rules of usage. Large, colorful drawings illustrate the words imaginatively. While a child alone might find the text confusing, the many teachers who use the series will probably enjoy reading this book aloud to introduce or illustrate prepositions in their classrooms.Carolyn Phelan--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
