Shona, Word Detective

The hard part about this book was the names and words in foreign languages. I struggled to pronounce them, but found ok in the end.

I liked Professor Crystal-Bloomer most because she was the famous detective. It was interesting because I want to be a detective and I love words. Please read this book if you love English or want to be a detective.

I love the book. Very interesting story ,new word from different parts of the world!

Interesting because words in a new languages

It was good

It's very good to read and very interesting.
It was a factual book and it was interested because Professor was teaching languages to parrot.

This was the greatest and funniest book in the whole entire universe!

It was alright but I would prefer more of the story it was cut short!

I would recommend it to everyone. Friends and family. I liked Shona because she was a detective. She was solving a case of LLTB because they said not to learn to much languages and she didn't like it.
The interesting part was that she was a detective and trying to solve cases

I enjoyed this book. I like detective stories. It is a fictional book. Shona likes tracking unusual words.

This was a great book as Shona did not find out about the trick.But at the end of the story the professor told the actual story about the extinct languages.
I would recommend this book.

I liked Shona because she was very clever.
This book was a little hard for me.

I really liked this book. It's about a girl called Shona who finds out that languages are becoming extinct. Her favourite person was Prof. Divina Crystal Bloomer. Shona wants to be just like her when she grows up. Later, at school, Shona's teacher explains what a lexicon is and how they can use it. Then, the class decides that they should create a 'Language Nest'. Everyone is asked to go home and explore around the area for any strange or new things from different countries. Shona finds a Matapi at her house and brings it to her school. The book ends of with Prof. Divina Crystal Bloomer visiting Shona's school. i really liked the book because it relays a message that we should all cherish and respect all languages whether it's big or small and we should all try to keep the different languages alive and nurture them so that each language has it's own story to tell. Otherwise we would all speak the same language and it would all be very boring. I would definately recommend this book to someone else.

I thought it was a great book and I really enjoyed it. It about a girl called Shona who is a word detective and hunts down different words and writes them down in her notebook.
My favourite character was Shona.
yes I would recommend this book to my friend.

Fun early chapter book for emerging readers. The narrative is simple but the words are fun. Shona is an entertaining but curious character and the language tree is an idea I will be using in class. Lots of new words to learn and isn't preachy.

good
