(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jared Chapman. Verb, a pigtailed girl in red, enjoys being the center of attention with her friends, Interjection (boy in purple), Adjective (boy in yellow), and Adverb (girl in orange). Although Verb "does things," newcomer Noun (boy in light blue) becomes things, impressing the gang and drawing Verb's ire. The grammar lesson is hit-or-miss, but the rivalry story line and clean, color-saturated illustrations are wins.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
