Customer Reviews

Fantastic
This book is excellent. My daughter (6) now knows more about grammar than me! She loves the pop-ups and flaps. This book is well worth its price.

Fabulous, hands-on book
This is a fantastic, interactive book on English grammar. The beautifully illustrated,pop-up pages demonstrate plurals, verbs, pronouns, adjectives and much more. Children will love the way they can control what happens on each page at the pull of a tab or the turn of a dial. Ingenious!

Brilliant!
Brilliantly thought out, beautifully illustrated - children adore and keep going back to it. Effortless, enjoyable and valuable learning.
