Get kids excited about learning!
The Know Nonsense Guide to Grammar is a hilariously illustrated, quirky, and fun guide that kids will love!
Turn each page in this book to learn a new basic grammar concept, including alliteration, similes, hyperbole, and much more, turning what can at times be dry topics into something approachable and fun. Full of quirky and hilarious illustrations, kids will love learning so much they might even laugh out loud. Flex your literary muscles, and soon you'll be a regular wordsmith!
Our Thoughts:
The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar is perfect for introducing young learners to the concepts and rules of language!
This wonderfully informative book breaks down the eight parts of speech, grammar rules, and literary devices for children to learn and better understand the rules of language. Each is paired with a fun and colorful illustration as well as descriptive sentence and a paragraph that breaks down and explains the rules in easy-to-understand and memorable ways.
The eight parts of speech include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, and conjunctions. The grammar rules include capitalization, punctuation, collective nouns, the sequence of adjectives, and how to use commas.
This book also includes literary devices such as alliteration and analogies, idioms and irony, cliches, metaphors, and more.
We especially loved the tips for 'proper grammar-snob etiquette' at the end of the book!
This is a great resource to come back to over and over and would make a wonderful addition to any home or school library or even an especially fantastic gift for any young writer.
