Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A hilarious exploration of grammar especially for young readers. Now in paperback!
Shrek? Earwax-flavored jelly beans? Poems about meatballs? Who on earth would use all these to explain the rules of grammar? Must be Patricia T. O'Conner!
Just like Woe Is I , her national bestseller for adults, this young readers edition uses conversational language and witty, entertaining examples to show how fun and easy it can be to use good English. It's a humorous reference book you'll actually enjoy pulling off the shelf.Like a humorous Strunk and White for 4th through 8th graders, this is destined to become a must-have for every English classroom and student.
A grammar reference for middle-grade students shares accessible guidelines organized under such chapter names as "Incredible Shrinking Words," in a lighthearted guide that pairs English-language rules with whimsical instructional elements.
Includes index.
