Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 1-3. In this volume in the If You Were series, a picture-book format; vibrantly colored, full-page illustrations; and a whimsical layout combine to offer children an accessible introduction to grammar. Simple phrases, accompanied by striking, highly textured pictures of animals--from howler monkeys to Arctic foxes--demonstrate the use of adjectives. For example, following a brief definition of noun, the text goes on to read, "An elephant is a noun. If you were an adjective, you would tell us about the elephant. The GRAY elephant is GIGANTIC^B and WET." Comparative, proper, and superlative adjectives, printed in large, colorful display type, stand out from the main handprinted-style text. Though some additional explanation from an adult may be needed, the art is a delight, and the peppy prose and familiar examples will help the lesson slide down easily. An activity (find an adjective for each letter of child's name), a brief glossary, and a few additional resources, conclude. Shelle Rosenfeld

Book Description
As an adjective, you make the world colorful. You could be spectacular, brilliant, dazzling, or daring. You could describe how something feels, sounds, or behaves. What else could you do if you were an adjective?

Sara Gray's illustrations are eye-grabbers., April 27 2010
By M. Heiss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: If You Were an Adjective (Paperback)
I thought I would use this book as a starting place for my kindergartener -- I think he is ready for the parts of speech.It turns out my third-grader is completely captivated -- that's a great book. When the big kid reads it to the little kid, we have a winner.
I think the illustrations are simply amazing -- they carry the learning to a much deeper level.
Nice that there is an activity at the end of the book for the kids to do.
I also recommend verb, pronoun, and noun -- I have all four.

I used this book after teaching adjectives to first graders and before giving a test. The kids loved it and I'm sure it helped to improve their scores.
