My 4 yr. old son and I have read, "If you were an Adjective," and "If you were a Verb." They're both fantastic. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. It explains a lot about these parts of speech. For example, in the verb book, it talks about helping verbs, past, present, and future verbs, and linking verbs. The book is really quite comprehensive when it comes to teaching the basics about verbs (or other parts of speech). I taught 6th grade English and these books would have been wonderful to help the students learn grammar in a fun way.

As a homeschooler, I was looking for an imaginative and engaging way to teach English grammar to my first grader. (I knew worksheets wouldn't cut it.) This series is the ticket. Each of these books teaches a specific part of speech using beatiful color illustrations and creative lettering to highlight the part of speech it covers. I was pleased and surprised by how these books combine comprehensiveness with simplicity of expression. Each book ends with games to practice the concepts covered. After reading "If You were a Verb," my son exclaimed "Mom, I want to be a verb!" Skip the worksheets and get these books instead. They're an absolute joy.

I thought I would use this book as a starting place for my kindergartener -- I think he is ready for the parts of speech.

It turns out my third-grader is completely captivated -- that's a great book. When the big kid reads it to the little kid, we have a winner.

I think the illustrations are simply amazing -- they carry the learning to a much deeper level.

Nice that there is an activity at the end of the book for the kids to do.

I also recommend pronoun, adjective, and noun -- I have all four.
