This book is an excellent resource for helping children learn about nouns. It is bright volourful and beautifully illustrated which will definitely make it appeal to younger children!

This colorful picture book provides numerous examples of nouns using everyday objects familiar to children. The book will be helpful for children who are beginning to learn grammar and struggling due to the lack of illustrations. This book will assist them in understanding the concept of nouns.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this Advanced Reader Copy (ARC).

This book was delightful, and the graphics were amazing! At first, I was going to give this book a four-star review because I am old school and couldn't help but compare it to "Schoolhouse Rock - Grammar Rock Nouns song and found myself wanting to sing the book rather than read so to be fair I sought out the advice of a couple of my friends kids ages 5-9 and they LOVED the book! They gave it a 10 out of 5 lol! Their comments were "it made learning about nouns fun" "the pictures are cool" and "can we read it again...pleaseeeee" So there you have it, out of the mouth of kids this book is a win!

I use this adorable book to teach my students about nouns. It is helpful in school but also it is a good tool for parents.

A story whose words give a rhythm harkening to Dr. Seuss.
This story lays out what a noun is and all the different types of nouns that can be seen in day to day life. A good learning tool for early elementary education teachers.

A book that needed writing. Very basic grammar but done in a fun way that isn’t patronising or too complicated. Good action illustrations made the book a hit with my littlest. Even better would be to have the boss and bright student not all male.

How adorable the colours and the pictures in this book are! The children love this style and the colour harmony is fabulous.
This is a book about nouns - so, it is actually a book about grammar in some ways, however, the teaching is not didactic, and the rhymes and pictures allow for an engaging, entertaining read. Suitable for younger children and learners of English.
The bonus is, it is also a book with rhyming prose.

A cute book that explains something they need to know at school. I wonder if there will be a series with verbs, adverbs and the rest.

5★
“Did you know the world is full of nouns?
They are everywhere if you take a look around.
Learning is fun, I know you can do it,
Especially when we rhyme our way through it!”

This is a cute picture book with heaps of examples of nouns. The rhymes use a bit of poetic licence, but they are still fun to read, and I think kids will enjoy them.

I usually use bold typeface for quotations, but I’ll use italics, because they put the nouns in bold.

[My Goodreads review includes the illustration for this page, with the nouns in boldface.]
“A noun is a person, animal, place or thing,
Like a teacher, an elephant, a playground, a swing.”

Then it moves through an amusement park and out into space.

[My Goodreads review includes the illustration for this page, with the nouns in boldface.]
“A noun can be in space, like a planet, moon or star,
It can also be on Earth, like a bike or a car.”

There are more pages of wonderful examples, and other details to identify as nouns.

[My Goodreads review includes the illustration for this page, with the nouns in boldface.]
“A noun is a butterfly, a bear or a bee,
A noun is a twig or a branch on a tree.”

I know kids will enjoy this one and possibly make it an excuse for playing in the rain.

[My Goodreads review includes the illustration for this page, with the nouns in boldface.]
“Even the weather gives us nouns,
Like rain from the sky that makes a puddle on the ground.”

From the rain to a lovely sunset.

[My Goodreads review includes the illustration for this page, with the nouns in boldface.]
“Nouns are everywhere that you look,
Like a sunset, a watch, and a picture in a book.”

he overall concept is attractive and entertaining, and the illustrations lend themselves to pointing out other nouns in the pictures (hoping that the adult helpers will understand the rules). Because there are so many nouns here (I didn’t count), I think children will have a fair grasp of the idea by the end of the book, and perhaps those adult helpers will, too. 😊

I have to add a thank-you to the author who took my mention of a couple of errors to heart and has fixed them already. I have amended my Goodreads review accordingly and shared the corrected picture. That was certainly a quick response!

Thanks to #NetGalley and Buzz Books (and the author) for a review copy of #TheWorldIsFullOfNouns.

This book was really cute. My 6 year old really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be buying the physical copy for when it’s time for my 2 year old to know what a noun is.

A very cute book that shows us just how full of nouns the world is. The rhyming of the book makes it flow easy and it's also easy to understand and read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

The art work in this book is really really good. Wow!
The rhyming scheme makes the book flow better given the almost "noun dump" that may get overwhelming for little brains. Younger non-readers could even be included making it a "find the object for the word" kind of game.
The only critique I would have is how the "people nouns" (i,e, teacher, parents) were very stereotypical. The teacher was drawn as female. The word "mailman" is antiquated as now we use "mail carrier". It was really unnecessary to use "mailman" as it did not need to rhyme with anything.
Overall, probably a book to be read more than once with all the words and pictures that can be revisited.

Rainy days call for coloring and kids books. We absolutely loved these sweet books! The illustrations were beyond beautiful, and the stories were so fun. My son loved The Rescues Best Day Ever, because his aunt fosters dogs so he kept saying “Aunt Carlie doggies!”. I am very excited to show my older two The World is Full of Nouns! Such a fun book for elementary school. Adis New Home was super sweet and I Am A Potato was so fun! Thank you @netgalley @bookbuzzblog @redcometpressbooks for the advance copies of these sweet children’s book for our rainy day in the Midwest. ☔️🌧️ 🖍️

This is a cute rhyming book that will help children love language and grammar. The list of nouns is hilarious, and it would be fun to read this and talk with different groups of kids about what else is a noun. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this adorable picture book
