Description

Adverbs Say Finally! by Maira Chiodi is a playful introduction to one of the parts of speech. Its examples are lively: an adverb helps describe a diver leaping from a very tall platform, or a cyclist crossing the finish line after a gruelling race. Each one shows how a single word can change the way an action is understood.

The language is simple and the ideas are clearly structured, which makes it a practical choice for classrooms and for learning at home. Published by Picture Window Books in hardcover in 2019, it suits early literacy and language arts.
