Shrek? Earwax-flavored jelly beans? Poems about meatballs? Who on earth would use all these to explain the rules of grammar? Must be Patricia T. O'Conner! Just like Woe Is I, her national bestseller for adults, the junior version uses simple language and entertaining examples to make good English fun. Hey, nobody ever said grammar has to gruesome or gross or grim. How gratifying! O'Conner explores once-thorny problems in chapters like these: "I" Witness: When Words Need Stand-ins Plurals Before Swine: Sometimes There's More Than One Yours Truly: Possessives and the Possessed Action Figures: Words That Do the Work Small Miracles: Incredible Shrinking Words Casting a Spell: How to Be Letter Perfect Connecting the Dots: All About Punctuation Calling all grammarphobes! This is one reference book you'll enjoy pulling off the shelf. It will have you laughing while you learn.
