I and you and don't forget who : what is a pronoun

Summary: Rhyming text and illustrations of comical cats present numerous examples of pronouns and their functions

A lime, a mime, a pool of slime : more about nouns

One book couldn't possibly be enough to cover the topic of nouns. The cats are back with their comical examples to drive home to readers just what a noun is. Specific types of nouns - such as abstract nouns and proper nouns - are also introduced in this giggle-a-page expansion on the topic.

Lazily, crazily, just a bit nasally : more about adverbs

What is an adverb? Its hard to explain but easy to show and that's just what this book does, in rhyming, comical verse that will have readers giggling as they learn. Cartoon cats guide readers through the tricks of describing when, how, where, how often, and how much in this lighthearted celebration of language.
