Review

"Nobody is better than Joel Schnoor when it comes to presenting grammar dressed up to have fun."

-- Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English

"Joel Schnoor's Aunt Ruth: The Queen of English and Her Reign of Error is truly a language lover's delight. This book ... is an answer to the prayers of English teachers looking for a new creative approach to helping students use troublesome aspects of language in correct, effective communication. As the narrator says to Bill the Grammar Fairy, 'Please call it a grammar story, not a grammar lesson. We don't want the reader suspecting that he or she may be both enjoying the story and learning grammar concurrently.'

"Masterfully written in Joel's comfortable, easy-to-read style, the book combines practical examples, humor, creative description, and figurative language to produce memorable passages, characters, and scenes. If you chuckled as you read I Laid an Egg on Aunt Ruth's Head, you will howl as you read Aunt Ruth: The Queen of English and Her Reign of Error."

--Jerry Laffey, English teacher, National Federation Outstanding Interscholastic Speech and Debate Award recipient, Iowa High School Speech Association Hall of Fame inductee

"Rambunctious Aunt Ruth and her notable nephew are delightful! Their inherent individual charm as characters makes for a good read even if you don't need new grammatical insight. But Mr. Schnoor knows well that when the indomitable spirit meets the intellectual perfectionist, there is context for the kind of witty conversation that makes those slippery points of English grammar stick a whole lot better. So much here to love!"

--Kristi Eskelund, English teacher, storyteller, and grammar enthusiast
