The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar is an unforgettably funny grammar
and literary device reference for kids featuring easy-to-grasp
explanations and colorful illustrations.
Fuzzy on punctuation? Bamboozled by adverbs? Perplexed by the difference
between idioms and irony? That's totally understandable! But thinking
you have to muddle your way through this confusion on your own? That's
utter nonsense!
This Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar is packed with simple
definitions (commas are used to separate words in a sentence and help
readers know when to pause), memorable examples (The vampire loves
cooking, his teddy bear, and his goldfish.), and funny illustrations
that make the rules of language easy to understand.
Turn the pages to learn:
-
Parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions,
pronouns, and conjunctions)
-
The basic rules of grammar (capitalization, collective nouns,
sequence of adjectives, and punctuation)
-
Literary devices that make good writers great (alliteration,
analogies, similes, hyperbole, puns, irony, and much more)
Along the way, things may get a little loopy, but have no fear! While
you're laughing, you'll also be learning. With a little practice,
you'll be a regular wordsmith!
