Vocabulary Cartoons: Building an Educated Vocabulary With Visual Mnemonics by Sam Burchers, Max Burchers, Bryan Burchers

" This book is awesome!! My daughter is in 5th grade and I have been trying to find a practical and effective way for her to study vocabulary. This book is so fun and enjoyable. My daughter often uses the vocabulary words in her everyday conversations now. We both enjoy the funny cartoons and I am learning too......" " This vocabulary book is amazing! I really wish that there were more to purchase for once we complete this one. I plan to use this book in my homeschool. I know for a fact my kids will get a kick out of the cartoons and they really will help the definitions stick. What I like is that after it teaches a few words it also includes a review sheet to cover those words......" " My 10 year old daughter really enjoys learning the words and the cartoons, sentences, and review quizzes at the end of each section really help to cement the knowledge. I wish they had another book for this age range. The next set of books are SAT books that would be too difficult for her....." " 小学校高学年向けの米国の単語学習書。Cartoonと韻の両方からアプローチ。Cartoonは視覚の方が文字より記憶に適している事実を基に、ユーモアにあふれ、対象単語の理解と記憶を補助している。日本人にとって英語の韻（rhyme)はごろの良いマリリン・モンローは分かるがそれ以上は韻を踏んでいるのかは良くわからない。本書では単語全部に韻を踏んだ別単語を列挙しており、culture:vultureやburden:bird Nなど我々には気が付かない韻が列挙されている。その他。６００例以上有る、例文も、We heard small feet scurrying up the stairs.等英語的表現に溢れている。単語、韻（アクセント）、英語表現など多くの点から英語学習者には最適の本だが、受験英語中心の日本では残念ながら採用されないでしょう"
