Description
Have fun learning about language!One book is never enough to explore the wide range of synonyms! In this follow up to Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know, the crazy and zany cats deliver loads of additional examples to illustrate the power of synonyms to make writing superb or terrific. Brian P. Cleary's playful, rollicking verse and Brian Gable's comical cats or felines turn traditional grammar lessons on end. Each pair or group of synonyms is printed in color for easy and simple identification. Read this book aloud and share the delight of the sense—and nonsense—of words.
