Description

Because there are synonyms, you get to choose/from a whole list of possible words you can use./ They're words that are practically, nearly the same,/like, gentle, subdued, or incredibly tame.
In this 20th anniversary edition of Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know, author Brian Cleary and illustrator Brian Gable provide numerous examples of synonyms. The text's playful rhymes combine with fun illustrations to build understanding of how this part of speech is used. New Try It! features, updated back matter, and a fresh font make these editions extra special.
