Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-Another of the author's rhyming romps through parts of speech, this book offers a nearly nonsensical look at the role of adverbs. Illustrated with colorful and daft felines and other creatures that have a suspicion of the manic energy of the Cat in the Hat, plus a befuddled walrus that is "Brilliantly burgundy, shockingly old," the text informs readers about adverbs of manner, frequency, description, place, time, and number. The words themselves are highlighted in colored print, with companion explanations: "Adverbs tell us when and how,/Like, quickly do your homework, now." The energy and sheer razzmatazz of the text and graphics will have young grammarians entranced. Pair Cleary's titles with Ruth Heller's titles, including Up, Up and Away: A Book about Adverbs (Grosset & Dunlap, 1991), for solid and engaging instruction in the basics of language.

Review

"...effectively explaining a potentially boring subject through a bouncy rhyming text filled with puns and jokes that will appeal to kids." -- Kirkus Review

"A playful, rhyming text and cartoon art vividly explain adverbs and their functions." -- Publisher's Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars They've done it again!!, March 3, 2003
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to learn your grammar!, July 8, 2004
By Kelli (Somewhere out west) - See all my reviews
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!

A little too simplistic as well as not quite clear enough on the kinds of questions adverbs can answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
This book is great. It is fun and has a Dr. Seuss type feel to it. It is great for reinforcing word types to children.
