Peepered with alliteration and multimeaning words, Miss Alaineus follows the vocabulary disaster of a fifth grade girl, Sage. When absent one day, she calls a friend to get the week's vocabulary words. She misunderstands the final word, miscellaneous, which leads to her own misinterpretation of the word and a bit of humiliation. The drawings are unique, the story is cute, and the reading level is high for a picture book (5.3). Good for literary device lesson on alliteration, context clues as she determine's what Miss alaineus means, and using personal experiences to write a story.
