Dearly, Nearly, Insincerely: What Is an Adverb?

(4) K-3 Words Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Brian Gable. Cleary's and Gable's zany, big-nosed cats are back, this time to energetically introduce the concept of adverbs. A punning rhyming text explains what adverbs are and do; throughout, sentences containing adverbs (which are set in color for easy identification) are illustrated by brightly tinted cartoon creatures. The lesson may be too frenetic for many readers to understand, but they'll sure enjoy the rush of fresh air.
