“A word that means a collection of things, like a CACHE of jewels for the crowns of kings…or a BATCH of bread all warm and brown, is always called a COLLECTIVE NOUN.”
Join Ruth Heller as she guides young readers through an exploration of what collective nouns are in A Cache of Jewels: And Other Collective Nouns. With charming rhymes and striking yet simple illustrations, Heller turns this grammar lesson into a breeze. Children’s Literature praises the book as “a great way to help allay fears and to remove potential boredom from a grammar lesson.” Students will delight in these remarkable words—take “a bevy of beauties,” for instance, or “a parcel of penguins”! Between alliteration and rhyme, Heller crafts language that is a joy to read aloud.
