The Little Red Writing Book

The Little Red Writing Book Review

A visually appealing and gentle book, this is as enjoyable as a book on the art of writing can be. The author communicates in an engaging, personal manner that speaks to us no matter where we're at in our skill as a writer. Even a reluctant writer will find this little manual easy to tolerate. The introduction alone, while giving a helpful, brief overview of the pillars of writing, is an encouraging invitation to come along for the journey. Think of each of the twenty principles of writing as little gems to be uncovered by those who wish to write better. Who among us is not guilty of using needless words? Or how about long sentences?

He also emphasizes things I wanted reiterated to my homeschooled child such as sentence variety and reworking his writing. Additionally I like how the author uses both positive and negative examples for his readers to examine and compare. The errors of bad writing become obvious to us when held up against good writing that follows sound principles. As to the exercises, while they are short, and not every chapter contains them, they are useful and help cement the rule given. As a home educator I used this book, along with the exercises, as a supplemental refresher for my sixteen year old, who is a strong writer but needed some help in "polishing" his work. Finally, the grammar section is concise and beneficial and will be considered a reference tool in our home. I highly recommend this book!
