32 pp. | Millbrook | April, 2014 | Library ISBN 978-1-4677-0610-0 $16.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4677-2544-6
(4) K-3 Words Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Martin Goneau. Cleary's hyperactive rhymes introduce the language concept. While the definition of suffix provided isn't satisfying, the many examples will help kids begin to understand the term's various meanings and functions in words. The illustrations of zany cats are humorous but distracting; the spreads with embedded charts are most helpful in supporting the text. A final chart with suffixes, meanings, and examples is appended.
