I loved reading this book and incoorporating it into my lesson. I used this book to introduce all the different forms of adjectives, discussing three of them in particular. Students pointed out the adjectives on each page and they told me what type of adjective they were. Students enjoyed this read

This is a fabulous series on grammar in a kid-friendly format. The text is simple and rhymed, but a clean rhyme, not the sickeningly sweet kind that manipulates its words to fit the rhyme scheme. The real focus of the book is, however, the illustrations. They are large, vibrant, and as luscious as

Beautiful illustrations, but even I, as a college student, had to ponder on the meanings of adjectives, predicate adjectives, demonstratives, possessives, articles, comparatives, superlatives, etc.

This book does a great job of introducing and exploring the world of adjectives. It is very descriptive and even shows the different types and how/when they can be used in a cute and easy to understand story

Many Luscious Lollipops is one of the many books in a series by Ruth Heller. All her books are about the parts of speech that intend to be fun to read while also learning! This particular book is about adjectives. I enjoyed reading this book for a few reasons. First, the illustrations are

beautiful. The book has bright and vivid pictures that are lovely to look at while I'm reading the story. For example, on one of the pages, it describes a wet, rainy day. The entire two pages it covers are completely colored in dark, dreary colors. It really makes you feel what the author is writing. Second, the author has a really great way of telling the readers about adjectives in a cool way. It makes the book that much better to read. For example, "Treat Proper Adjectives the same as any other proper name..a Persian rug, an Irish setter. They always begin with a capital letter." The author twists the words to make it seem like you're not actually learning. The main idea of this book is to teach you about adjectives but in a fun way! Show Less
