Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-27 00:00:00 Joseph Gastelum This is another in Ruth Heller's series of illustrated guides to parts of english speech written for young children. There are about 8 or 9 of these books (one each on nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, interjections, pronouns, collective nouns and more). In each book in the series Heller presents the topic so clearly and so well that everyone, adults and children alike, come away with a solid understanding of the subject. While I did moderately well in english in grade school, junior high and high school, there were various details about some aspects of grammer that I never grasped very well. I wish Heller had written these books back when I was young. The other astounding and remarkable aspect to this series of books is that Heller also did all of the illustrations herself. I believe that is something of a rarity for an author to create an illustrated book and to do both the text and the illustrations. Heller's command of the art of illustration is as good as her command of the english language. If you were ever, or perhaps still are, fuzzy about any aspect to parts of english speech, take a look at these books by Ruth Heller.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-30 00:00:00 Vanessa Madrazo A very entertaining way to teach a child about adjectives. It almost seems like to much to convey in one quick read in a storytime. I could see an entire class being done with this book, where it can be broken down a little at a time and examples can be made so that the book is more effective than one straight read-through. Books in this "series" would be good to have around the home as children are growing up. Even I, the editor and English major, realized some "rules" of adjectives that I didn't quite know before.
