Adjectives Say "Incredible!" (Word Adventures: Parts of Speech)

Description

It's Zoo Day, and the adjectives can't wait for all the furry, fuzzy, feathered, noisy, wet, and sweet things. The perfect pairing of solid grammar basics and plenty of goofiness, this illustrated parts-of-speech adventure teaches and entertains all at once. Incredible!

Since graduating from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a BFA in Illustration, Lauren Lowen has been happily creating art for a variety of markets, including editorial, ad campaigns, publishing, and retail for clients such as Hallmark, LG Mobile, and Williams-Sonoma. A former illustration and design instructor at RISD and Montserrat College of Art, she currently teaches at Watkins College of Art in Nashville, Tennessee. When she's not illustrating or teaching, she can be found enjoying her favorite things: chocolate milk, dogs, and Philly rolls. Michael Dahl is the prolific author of the bestselling Goodnight, Baseball picture book and more than 200 other books for children and young adults. He has won the AEP Distinguished Achievement Award three times for his nonfiction, a Teacher's Choice award from Learning magazine, and a Seal of Excellence from the Creative Child Awards. Dahl currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

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"
