Adverbs Say "Finally!" (Word Adventures: Parts of Speech)

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?

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"
