If You Were An Adjective, by Michael Dahl

Illus. by Sara Gray.

Adjectives tell us how things look, sound, feel or behave. Sometimes they are proper and sometimes they are comparative. The bright, textured acrylic illustrations are perfect for sharing and invite the reader to think of more describing words.

Grades 1-3

I wish I had had this book when I was teaching grammar. Its rainbow colors and clever illustrations make adjectives seem almost fun. The explanation of proper adjectives is a bit fuzzy, though I'm not sure I could do much better. And I do wish that the definition of superlative adjectives had said that they compare three OR MORE things. Small problems, though. See also "If you were an Adverb", another 2006 title. The activities suggested at the end of the books are terrific. There are lots more titles in this "Word Fun" series.
