The English used in this book could be used to teach young readers the correct use of descriptive techniques such as onomatopoeia:“BANG! CRASH! THUMP!”This in addition to excellent use of rhyming stanzas provides a demonstrative resource in the teaching of a key stage 1 class prior to an English class for example. less
