They're There on Their Vacation

By Brian P. Cleary and Jim Paillot

Meet the Tuckabees. They're going on vacation. But not an ordinary vacation. They always choose the wackiest, weirdest destinations for their family trips. This year their stops include visits to the world's largest underwear, a narwhal petting zoo, and the amazing Cheezie Popz factory. No matter where this family goes, they're sure to have tons of fun when they get there. Come along for the ride—and along the way, learn to tell apart they're, their, and there. These words sound alike, but they're different in meaning. Figure out how to keep them straight as you join the Tuckabees on their adventures.

Reviews for They're There on Their Vacation

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The Tuckabees are an odd family who like to take vactions at different, strange places. They go to the Narwhal petting zoo, indoor camp ground, to see the largest pair of underwear and more. All this goes on while teaching the difference between there, their and they're. At the end they talk about the words and how they should be used. A cute story kids will enjoy because of the quirkiness.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
