Hillert, M. (1982). The
funny ride. Cleveland: Follett Publishing.
Margarat Hillert has written a number of children’s
books. I chose three books that she
wrote this week for comparison and contrast.
This was the newest of the three selected. This book utilizes 67 words and it appears
that the author increased the word total in each of books as she went
along. The style is very simple like the
others with short sentences and a repetition of words. She does a wonderful job of always helping
the reader to flow seamlessly through the stories. I would recommend this story to many
students; particularly those with an imagination. As a child I loved the idea of being able to
fly and because the boy flies and experiences all the things from the sky it
would have greatly appealed to me. The
plot and conflict are always short and smooth in the authors works even though
the characters, the settings, and the themes are not the same .
