But and For, Yet and Nor: What Is a Conjunction? (Words Are CATegorical ®)

She will read them as soon as she gets them, and then wants me to sit and listen to her read it out loud. At 9 years of age she is probably at the upper age level for these books, but she probably will continue to read them for quite a while. She is also anxious to teach her younger sibling everything she is learning from the Cleary books.

My only critique is the font they use inside the book is almost hard to read. It's all over the page and different sizes. The words that are conjunctions are in different colors, that helps, but I think they could have done a bit better.

My students love reading these books when learning about different grammar!

It is a very helpful book to teach grammar at any level.

My students can't wait to hear these books read aloud because then they know they can read them to themselves anytime! The excitement to begin a new grammar lesson is always keeps my students attentive!

My first grade students really liked the book. The language is fun, the pictures are colorful. My only wish is that the book was printed in a larger format.

Very helpful!!

The teacher, a cool orange cat in a dashing polka dot dress leads the class as they each carry their signs in a conjunction train. Most of the little kittens are paying attention and they have all learned that "conjunctions are connecting words like but or and or or, yet, until, unless, and as, along with for and nor. Conjunctions are joiners and oftentimes bridge "one phrase to another." They can be linkers too and "help to link a pair of verbs." They also can join sentences together into one. In this book you'll learn all about conjunctions in an easy way AND learning about conjunction can be painless by following these crazy cats as they teach you all about them.There are some rules that people think are absolute, such as never using a conjunction to start a sentence, "But I say that's absurd," spouts out the professor at a grammar convention. He's got that big red book of Grammar Myths to prove his point. And everyone in the audience seemed to understand and carried him on their shoulders as they cheered. In this book you will learn all about conjunctions, the rules and the myths and how to use them.This is a marvelous and fun way to supplement and enhance the traditional grammar lesson and make it FUN! Brian Cleary's ingenious rhyming schemes in his CATegorical books make learning grammar much easier, especially for the reluctant student who `just doesn't get it.' Each conjunction is highlighted in color, which makes them easy to spot throughout the book. The cats, needless to say, are always a bit zany and some of the sentences in this book will make everyone chuckle. This series of books will make a perfect addition to any homeschool OR classroom shelves!
