      This book is a creative way to learn the "patterns" for irregular plurals. It is brightly illustrated, which most readers would enjoy. Patterns are explained and examples are given. This book might be best read by a teacher so the patterns can be further explained. There is a concise explanation of the patterns at the end of the book.
