(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jenya Prosmitsky. Silly, big-nosed cartoon cats on pastel backgrounds clown around with rhymed examples of adjectives, mixed with descriptions of what adjectives do: "They modify nouns in ways that help tell us / If someone's sincere, delighted, or jealous." The adjectives in the text are printed in energetic, creative, and colorful fonts. Perhaps kids won't generalize from the examples, but they'll enjoy the lesson.
