This is a fun and extremely interesting children's book about grammar. It includes information about nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns and more. It also has cute and quirky graphics.

I really loved this book, and I learned a lot from it. It was like a refresher for me.

I highly recommend this book to all children and adults who either want to learn about grammar, or who would like a little refresher course in grammar. It is great!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar is a cute book for kids and lessons for parents to relearn all those forgotten grammar rules.

This is a must-have book, more over for those who struggles with grammar. Explained in easier language, so we can use English grammar fluently. It is actually not so different for most language. We have verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions and punctuations too, in every language. The author shows how the English ones work. Good book with amusing illustrations.

This was a very educational books that I think both parents and teachers will find useful when teaching grammar to children. It also provides a nice refresher for adults or adults learning English. Highly recommend this book!

Thank you to Heidi Fiedler, Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster, Walter Foster Jr, and Netgalley for this advanced reader copy of "The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar: An Awesomely Fun Guide to the Way We Use Words!" for an honest opinion.

As an English Teacher/Professor, I LOVE texts like this made available for younger students. Grammar is so much easier when it's learned during the beginning stages of child development. This book is both wonderfully on point with the learning and makes it fun to follow what's going on in the book, too. It's so cheerful, and some scenes are so delightfully laugh along funny, I can see my nieces and nephews returning to it by choice frequently while little.

Ridiculous and silly in exactly the way the English language is. This is a fun book to help kids realize that English is ridiculous and sometimes you just have to laugh at it.

An awesome jumping off point for children and their parents to learn the basics of grammar.
Illustrated in such an amazing way it is worth it for just that. A definite recommendation to get started with

What a clever way to learn about grammar!

I highly recommend this not just for kids but adults too. Now I do not just mean adults learning English as a second language. I mean adults in general. There is always something interesting to learn about this strange language and even I picked up something new myself! Enjoyed this one.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I absolutely adore the idea of this book, such a fun way to learn! And the illustrations are delightful.

However, as many others have mentioned, the irony section definitely needs to be rewritten. They are not examples of irony and it's a little troubling to see in an educational book for children.

I think perhaps this subject is a little too involved for a quick book like this. I loved the money one in the series, but this one was just a bit confusing. In an effort to get to the point and fit on a small page, I think it didn’t quite explain portions of grammar enough, and usually only gave one or two examples, which for my kids was not quite enough. Also, instead of punctuation, I think it should have been end marks because that’s what was talked about and commas was separate. Also, irony was all wrong. None of the examples were true irony. And some of the explanations were confusing to my kids. It was just okay.

"The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar" is such a fun book. It's fantastic for kids who are struggling in their English classes at school. Sometimes it's difficult to keep track of all the different grammar concepts, especially for children. This book is a perfect way to help kids learn and remember these concepts. The illustrations are cute and are really eye catching. This reminds me a lot of Schoolhouse Rock, which is what I used as a kid to help me remember the things I was learning. Making learning fun is really important when teaching children and this book does just that. I highly recommend.

Thank you netgalley for allowing me to read this for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

The illustrations are the best part of this picture book that teaches kids basic information about grammar, punctuation, parts of speech, etc. It covers some topics not usually covered like metaphor and hyperbole, but I wasn't crazy about the examples. For instance, the example of irony was that the sumo wrestler liked opera. I'm not sure that's irony as much as just surprising or interesting. Ironic would be more like the librarian hated to read IMO. The text is rather wordy. It's hard to tell what age this would be best for, because it's too much talk for little ones but not a lot of meat to it. The illustrations are delightful though, and it makes a good read for basic introductions to these concepts for kids. Uses the Oxford comma, though it does not talk about it.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

The Know Nonsense Guide to Grammar takes the confusion out of commas, the mastery out of metaphors, and explains the humor to be found in hyperbole.
From nouns and verbs, to irony and puns, this guide pairs the basic parts of speech, punctuation, and literary devices with whimsical illustrations to serve as a surprisingly useful reference guide. This book is so fun, so delightful... and it takes the pain out of punctuation.
This would make a fun addition to your homeschool grammar study or as a reference guide to any household with children from elementary to middle school.
And let's be honest... we adults might enjoy it as well.

The Know-Nonsense Guide to Grammar is perfect for introducing young learners to the concepts and rules of language!

This wonderfully informative book breaks down the eight parts of speech, grammar rules, and literary devices for children to learn and better understand the rules of language. Each is paired with a fun and colorful illustration as well as a descriptive sentence and a paragraph that breaks down and explains the rules in easy-to-understand and memorable ways.

The eight parts of speech include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, and conjunctions. The grammar rules include capitalization, punctuation, collective nouns, the sequence of adjectives, and how to use commas.
This book also includes literary devices such as alliteration and analogies, idioms and irony, cliches, metaphors, and more.

We especially loved the tips for 'proper grammar-snob etiquette' at the end of the book!

This is a great resource to come back to over and over and would make a wonderful addition to any home or school library or even an especially fantastic gift for any young writer.

This is a GREAT book for the word nerd or future language lover in your life! Super fun, engaging, book about language! I work with many students who do not speak English as a first language and feel that this would be a great way to learn! It is also fun and informative for native speakers. Highly recommend to be a part of every child's personal library. It makes leaning fun and helps make sense of the absurdly wonderful and crazily complicated language of English.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group/Walter Foster for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. As a past ESL teacher, I would have loved to have this book in my classroom! It uses humor, and pictures to introduce new ideas and concepts. The graphics were good as were the examples. I think my students would have enjoyed reading this book. 4 stars

Parts of this book would be really useful in my classroom, however, consideration must be given to the fact that it is tailored toward American classrooms.
It gives a thorough breakdown of grammatical terms which are pitched perfectly at those in KS2. The pictures are a nice accompaniment but are not really relevant to the text - especially if it is pitched at the upper end of the school.

😎 This book must be in every child’s library!

😎Clear and funny examples are provided to explain parts of speech, grammar, and literary devices. The fun graphics that accompany every explanation will help children remember the information.

😎Laughing and learning always go together!

😎While this book is written for readers from ages 8 to 11, I think it is a great book for any age if you need a grammar primer! I actually learned that I’ve been pronouncing onomatopoeia wrong my whole life! 😬🤫

😎Thank you @netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster for an eARC of this book, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

The Know-Nonsense Guides are great, they are a lot of fun, teach children things and are great resources for adults working with kids. The Guide to Grammar is another great installment in this series. Each page includes a comical picture as well as a paragraph describing a grammar term such as adverbs, as well as an example sentence with the term in context underlined. I can definitely see using this book with my grade 3 students are just getting to the point where they need some lessons on grammar and I could definitely see them enjoying the silly pictures and examples, making this book the perfect opportunity to make learning fun! I would recommend this book for parents and teachers of children in the 7-11 age range. Thank you to Netgalley and he publisher for the opportunity to read and review this great book!

As a retired language arts teacher, I was excited to read this. Using fun books to help with topics children struggle with is certainly beneficial.

The premise of this picture book is good, and it provides definitions and examples. The pictures match these examples. They are bright, colorful, and fun.

I feel the paragraphs are too busy. Each portion would stand out more if separated, maybe bulleted. This would make reading it more manageable, especially with all of the sentences in parentheses included.

I’ve taught third-sixth grades. The wording might be a bit difficult for third grade, and the book itself would be below fifth and sixth-grade levels.

Overall, it includes lots of good information to help children learn.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing this ebook for me to review.
