This book would be great to have while teaching an english class. The book gives the definition of an adjective and then continues to adjectives through out the whole book in fun, silly ways.It uses rhyming and adjectives showing two aspects of english language. The adjectives are always in a different color then the rest of the text making them easy to identify. I think the rhyming and silliness of this book is great for students because reading it is fun and easy. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

This is the perfect book to introduce students to adjectives!! I think every students would enjoy this silly poem about adjectives and it would really help them to understand the concept. A great follow-up activity would be to have students make up their own adjective poem and read it aloud in class. This book is so creative and the pictures are very well done! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
