Description

Whether diving from a very tall platform or crossing the finish line after a really grueling bike race, the adverbs have the perfect word: finally! Honestly, isn't it time for a quirky parts-of-speech adventure that subtly teaches grammar basics while readers are busy cheering loudly and giggling often

Reviews

The different parts of speech, from nouns to adjectives to conjunctions, are brought to life in these vibrant volumes directed at developing writers. With brightly colored illustrations and lovable cartoon characters, "Word Adventures" is eye-catching and will have wide appeal for a series on grammar. Each title places the parts of speech in a scenario (the nouns go to the museum, the conjunctions are camping) to explain how they work. . . .While these are intended for a primary audience, they could also be useful for upper elementary students needing a grammar refresh. These charming titles are a first purchase for elementary language arts collections.-- "School Library Journal"
