It's book three of the \u003ci\u003eMeet the Parts of Speech\u003c\/i\u003e series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Jake's nemesis pulls a prank and turns Grammaropolis into a grey, misshapen, tasteless town, Jake is forced to run around restoring everything--the colors, shapes, sizes, tastes, and more--to the way it was all meant to be. Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and examples of adjectives modifying nouns and pronouns along with comparative and superlative adjectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are \u003ci\u003ebossy\u003c\/i\u003e. They tell the verbs \u003cb\u003ewhere\u003c\/b\u003e to go, \u003cb\u003ewhen\u003c\/b\u003e to leave, and \u003cb\u003ehow\u003c\/b\u003e to get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving up his spot. The \u003ci\u003eMeet the Parts of Speech\u003c\/i\u003e series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Coert Voorhees, Grammaropolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644420139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644420133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grammaropolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 7.90w x 0.10d","brand":"Coert Voorhees","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991780983039,"sku":"9781644420133","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e167fb7c-2879-49bb-b919-6e6e18fb4299.jpg?v=1683312195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jake-the-adjective-coert-voorhees-9781644420133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
