Can the topic of adverbs be colorful, interesting....dare I say it? Fun? Apparently Brian P. Cleary and his innovative cat-loving illustrator Brian Gable think so! Not only does Cleary explain this difficult part of speech to grade schoolers with a rhyming, lively verse, my college sophomore is not above consulting this WORDS ARE CATEGORICAL series for the lessons within. You've done it again, Brian and Brian!Also recommended: A Mink, a fink, a skating rink: What is a Noun? Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What is an Adjective To Root, to Toot, to Parachute: What is a Verb? Under, Over, By the Clover: What is a Preposition?

These books are so good at helping kids learn the parts of speech. They give so many clear examples of sentences, with the specific part of speech in a different color so everyone will notice it. I used these in a classroom during english class and they all loved it. A+ to this book!

These books both entertaining and educational. The illustrations are fabulous! We have nearly all of Brian Cleary's books. Not since Schoolhouse Rock has learning been this much fun!

I just love Brian P. Cleary's Parts of Speech Books! My students love reading and listening to these silly books. It has helped increase interest and understanding in parts of speech in my classroom.

I originally checked these books out at our local library and my oldest daughter (age 7) loved them! They are a great tool in teaching the parts of speech and the function for each part. We loved them so much that I am slowly buying the whole set so that we can read them over and over. I have a feeling these books will be a wonderful part of homeschooling library for our three children.

This book is a welcome addition to this collection. I use these books all the time to teach language. I also use the math ones whenever possible. They have silly illustrations and a cute rhyming format. I would definitely buy any books from this series!

I use this series of books throughout the school year in third grade before jumping into the parts of speech. They are a fun and engaging way to start off a lesson.

Cleary's "Words are CATegorical" series aims to teach young students the parts of speech; and language devices such as simile, and metaphor through humor, rhyme, creative story telling, and a zany group of animals.The Adverb book takes on the rather expansive part of speech that seems to be found everywhere. Young elementary school students will enjoy the cast of wacky characters as they learn about adverbs. Throughout the Cleary grammar series, the format is the same. The definition is stated right off the bat, and then the story is simply one adverb example after another, with colored text to emphasize each adverb used. `Adverbs', does a fantastic job in breaking down what adverbs describe (when, how, where, how often, how much) in a sentence.All in all, this book is a great instructional tool to get kids thinking, and to start grammar instruction off with interest and fun.
