Jake the Adjective: Grammaropolis, Paperback/Coert Voorhees

Description Jake the Adjective is your guide to all that is wonderful, interesting, and lovely about adjectives. When Jake's nemesis pulls a prank and turns Grammaropolis into a grey, misshapen, tasteless town, Jake is forced to run around restoring everything--the colors, shapes, sizes, tastes, and more--to the way it was all meant to be. Jake the Adjective is book three of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the noun's place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, the Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.
