One book is never enough to
explore the incredibly wide
range of adverbs! The goofy
cats crazily deliver loads of
additional examples to
entertainingly illustrate the
power of adverbs, including
phrasal adverbs.
Brian P. Cleary’s playful verse
and Brian Gable’s comical cats
magically turn traditional
grammar lessons on end. Each
adverb is cleverly color coded
to help readers identify
adverbs of manner, adverbs of
time, and more. Read this
book aloud and share the
delight of the sense—and
nonsense—of words.

The adverbs in this book are color coded. The colors of the words on this page
match the colors of the adverbs in the text. You’ll see that all pink adverbs tell
you when, all green adverbs tell you how often, and so on. Watch out for adverbs
that tell you how. Some are light blue and others are dark blue.
