- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think that this is an excellent book. This is very helpful when learning about synonyms. The author used different colors to denote synonyms throughout the book. For example, he made all of the synonyms for the word "laugh" red, and the synonyms for the word "cleaning" blue. This helps the reader clearly see which words are synonyms. Also, the author used rhyming in order to make the story more engaging. For example, the author says, "Synonyms help us to use the right word, as in sly or clever, strange or absurd." The rhymes that the author incorporates keeps the reader engaged and interested in the story because it is fun to read. The main idea of this book is that synonyms can help to make writing more interesting and descriptive.
