Review Quotes

"Pulver's humorous offering presents an appropriately athletic point of access to an often too-dry subject."--The Horn Book

"Reed's vividly colored cartoons capture the high-energy activity, showing triangular-shaped verbs smiling, hopping, and whining their way through the story, accompanied by a variety of animated classroom objects. Although the emphasis is on silliness, Pulver makes her point about the parts of speech; even the youngest listeners will realize that sentences need both nouns and verbs in order to make sense."--Booklist
