We've enjoyed a lot of the books written by Ruth Heller - the lyrically rhyming narrative and bright, colorful illustrations are certainly appealing and the educational content is often helpful for parents and children (I got a few good reminders of some of the more obscure grammatical rules.) At times I feel there is a disparity between the advanced level of the grammar being presented and the target audience of the book, but on the whole, we really enjoy these books.

A very entertaining way to teach a child about adjectives. It almost seems like to much to convey in one quick read in a storytime. I could see an entire class being done with this book, where it can be broken down a little at a time and examples can be made so that the book is more effective than one straight read-through. Books in this "series" would be good to have around the home as children are growing up. Even I, the editor and English major, realized some "rules" of ad...more
Annotation and Comment:
My students LOVE this picture book. It is so much more exciting than a boring old grammar book or worksheets. They learn all about adjectives and have fun at the same time! I have several other Ruth Heller books that I use that are also about parts of speech. The pictures are bright and eye-catching. The story is written with strong rhythm and rhyme.

I love this book!!! My partner and I read this book for first garde students and they loved it!! Some words were difficult for them, but they understood most of them. Some students even used the adjectives from the book in their activity describing the lollipops.I can see how this book can be a little overwhelming, but it could be broken into the small parts to make it easier.
I really wish I would of known about this book when I was learning about adjectives! Honestly, Ruth Heller is able to really break down what adjectives are and teach a lesson, without even pulling out a worksheet! I think this book would be a great hook for teaching children about adjectives. Furthermore, you could use this as a model, and then make a class book on adjectives or any other grammar term! Not to mention, the visuals in this book are fantastic, and will definitely help those visual ...more
A great book with eye-catching illustrations that will grab a young child's attention. This book is ideal for teaching adjectives and the different types of adjectives such as possessive and demonstrative. The colorful and large pictures correlate well with the adjectives Heller chose in the book.
I am a bit confused as to what age this book is directed towards. Young children would need a great deal of prior knowledge to understand some of the concepts presented in this book. The illustrations are nice and there are some great adjectives in the book.
Excellent, educates on the many different kinds of adjectives there are and how to use them. Kinley did see value in the book but probably 70% of it went over Kinley's head and will be a much better fit in a few years.
It would be fun to play with some of Heller's books with 3rd to 5th graders especially when talking about writing and things like say...Adjectives. Fun book - book in illustrations and text.
When my brain hurts, when I have too much homework, when I'm feeling sad...I simply remember how AWESOME Ruth Heller's children's books about grammer (grammer!) are, and then I don't feel so bad.
This book about adjectives is brightly illustrated to show students the many ways adjectives are used in the English language.
Great for using adjectives and it uses complex ones. Illustrations are calming and neat.
An excellent book for teaching describing words (adjectives).
great teaching grammar book
Phenomenal little book. Seriously. I learned more in this book than I did from an entire semester of Grammar in college. I still struggle with grammar even though I'm a certified to teach middle school English! If I was teaching in any context, I'd purchase all of Ruth Heller's books. (They may end up on my Christmas list this year because I'm a big word nerd.)
As with Heller's other language books, she sets out with good intentions but her style, both the pictures and text, just doesn't do it for me.
