A yam and a donkey cannot seem to make themselves understood to the other. The yam’s frustration escalates as the donkey does not seem to grasp the point the yam is trying to make.  Cute illustrations add to the humor of the story. Younger students are unlikely to appreciate the point being made with the grammatical corrections, but older students will still enjoy the humor in the story line and illustrations.

While the story fixates on a couple of grammatical mistakes, the strength of the book is in reminding students that grammatical errors change the meaning of writing.  For teachers or peer editors the story is a reminder that correcting a grammatical error does not mean it will not be repeated if the writer does not understand the error.
