Description

Jump! Climb! Lift! Leap! Not known for sitting still, the verbs are packing lots of grammar facts and fun into their parts-of-speech adventure. These quirky, illustrated characters camp, exercise, sail, and swim, and all readers need to do is read, learn, and enjoy!

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"
