Description
Publisher's Description of Comparrotives (A Grammar Zoo Book)
From the creators of Hippopposites, Rhymoceros, and Llamaphones comes a new board book about comparatives
In this oversize board book, young readers will learn about comparative adjectives via a very humorous parrot—from noisy and noisier, to messy and messier, to happy and happier when it finally finds a friend. As with the previous books in the series, Comparrotives features surprising touch-and-feel novelty elements throughout—making the comparatives concept easy and fun to learn.
Category Description for Grammar Zoo Books
Grammar for kindergarteners? Seriously? Ok, these books are a HOOT! In the first place, they are big board books. Really big at 8" x 8.5" with punchy, vibrant graphics. In the Comparrotives book, you see all these parrots! Get it? So clever. Open up a page and on the left you see a messy parrot and on the right, a messier parrot. Or an angry and an angrier parrot, or a close and a closer parrot. It is just hilarious, and kids will love it! A couple pages have a texture to interact with. They are conversationally learning adjectives, aka grammar. Rhyming is such a good pre-reading skill to practice. In the Rhymoceros book, you see the bold, bright images as well; only now we see rhymes such as shade/lemonade, chilly/frilly, grumpy/bumpy, etc. all starring the same big blue rhino. Again, with a couple of textured pages. The volumes are a little pricey, but they feel almost like an art book to me, with really nice quality and graphics. They provide a unique and clever way to introduce some simple grammar to the littlest future readers! ~Sara
