Next Sunday is Mother’s Day; here’s a funny little book about those special women.
31 Uses For A Mom by Harriet Ziefert
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
An excellent book for adult ESL students, this is simply a list of things a mother might do for her children. With just 42 words, students can look up every single unfamiliar word if need be – and those words are not just basic vocabulary. The book’s brevity will also allow readers to take some time to figure out the moments of humor that a native speaker may spot instantly. Finally, it is a nice detail to match the number of days in May, the month of Mothers’ Day.
