The Compound Noun Treasure Hunt: A Picture Book About Compound Words

32 pp. | Familius | August, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781641708852 $16.99
(3) K-3 Language Is Fun! series. Illustrated by Sandie Sonke. "It all started when a BULL..."(page-turn) "...DOG stumbled upon a piece of paper." In this story of animals on a search for gold, complete with humorous twist ending, each page-turn separates the two parts of a compound noun ("DRAGON.../...FLY”; “SUN.../...FLOWER”). The clever concept adds a tactile element to learning that compound nouns are combinations of two shorter words. Cheerful pastel-hued illustrations add appeal.
