About this ebook
A young student has to give a presentation about personification—and she's petrified! How can she explain something that gives human traits to things that aren't human? If only she could take a trip to the park and show everyone the way the fountain hiccups, the daffodils dance, and the wind whispers a tune . . . or maybe that's just what she'll have to do!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5nicely done!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a nice way to teach a lesson on personification. When a young girl has to make a presentation to class about personification she is scared, something a lot of children and adults can relate to. When the fire alarm rings and they all have to leave the school she comes up with an idea. Off to the park they go where she can do a "show and tell" demonstrating personification. This book does a great job of illustrating personification if a way that students will remember. The graphics are interesting and entertaining adding to the interest level of the story. A great book for classrooms teaching this concept to children. The publisher generously provided me with this book via Netgalley.
