If You Were a Preposition

Word Fun

by Nancy Loewen, Sara Jean Gray (Illustrator)

If you were a preposition, you would connect a noun or pronoun to other words in a sentence. You could go WITH you friends INTO the movie theater. What else could you do if you were a preposition?

Loved this for a first introduction to parts of speech for my 3rd grader. Piqued his interest without a lot of building up from mom - always a win. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the series.

We borrowed this book for Classical Conversations Cycle 1.

This book was good but overly complex for our 6 and 4 year olds. The first half was perfect for them! Older kids will probably like the rest of the book a lot better.

That said, our kids LOVED one page about a goat and a shed, showing the goat in different places around the shed. We must have spent at least 5 minutes on that page alone!

Not bad for a books about grammer. They actually diagram in these books but not too much. And they try to make the examples interesting. Overall not bad. Grades 2+

Not as good as If You Were an Adverb, but still beautifully illustrated and informative.
