Lynn Rowe Reed.
Mr. Wright's students "tackle" word endings. The endings (personified), worried that being tackled will hurt, slip off the blackboard and into the weight room to beef up. Sunny acrylics keep the story light and humorous as the suffixes, often drawn with eyes or highlighted in different colors, dance around the pages. Grammar is a lot less boring with this book at hand.
