From the Publisher
Teachers and students in third and fourth grades will value this
instructive and entertaining journey to Grammar World,
where kids have fun while they develop their facility in correct
English usage. Grammar World is a make-believe amusement
park where boys and girls are introduced in chapter one to the
animals who teach them about different kinds of sentences:
statements and questions, commands and exclamations, subjects and
predicates, combining sentences, and how to avoid fragments and
run-on sentences. Chapter two takes kids to Grammar World''s rides,
where they learn about nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and several
other parts of speech. Chapter three takes them to the Water Park,
where they learn how to use verbs. Chapter four is a dolphin show,
and explanation of prepositions, prepositional phrases,
conjunctions, and interjections. The fifth and final chapter is a
fireworks display, in which kids learn punctuation, capitalization,
abbreviations, and other details that will help them write clearly
and correctly.
