  • A book is what you make of it

    Grammar is the most important aspect of learning and it is not covered nearly enough in grade schools as it should be. Now a days for grammar, the child needs to learn grammar at home and this book is a great start to that. I bought this books a few weeks ago for one of my younger in-laws. It has helped her a lot. The book explains everything very well so if you don't have any background, or very little knowledge in grammar, you will begin to learn and understand what is going on. I would recommend this book to anyone, not only for school but for the very important knowledge of grammar. Good luck!

  • Great

    I still have to stumble through a bit. But, the humor is wonderful. And keeps me interested. It should be a required text in schools.
