It used to be that learning grammar was one of the most boring exercises ever, but not anymore!

Plenty of practical advice will help everyone unravel the rules and regulations of the English language. The book's cutting edge design and innovative approach will make it perfect reference for linguists of all ages who struggle to remember the difference between a preposition and pronoun.

Entertaining and educational. Provides clear, well-rounded explanations of the basic rules of English grammar and parts of speech. Uses personification and humor to enlighten and simplify. A fresh take on teaching the rules of language. Appropriate for children of late elementary school age and beyond. Would recommend.

This is a great book that helps children learn about grammar. This book can be best used by teachers to help explain to students about grammar. The pictures in the book are great because they give the children visuals. For a run on sentence, there is a picture of a man running, which children would find amusing.
