While this book is visually one that young learners will enjoy, adults (and young adults) will find the information more useful that school textbooks. --Grady Harp, Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer
I give The Dragon Grammar Book: Grammar for Kids, Dragons, and the Whole Kingdom 5 out of 5 stars. Having a useful resource that engages students and includes a wide variety of grammar rules with short, fun examples is difficult to find. Robinson has produced a winner with this easy-to-navigate, all-inclusive, grammar guide for kids.--Literary Titan
As a homeschool mom, I love using this book to teach my kids grammar because it is fun and engaging and helps them actually understand grammar while having fun! My daughter uses this for her lessons and for writing for fun. It doesn't get better than that! -- Christine Suarez
The Dragon Grammar Book is a wonderfully written and beautifully organized must have writing companion for children and adults alike.-- Stacie Theis
I loved this book. It now sits in a prominent place in my office. Grammar, for me, was always infinitely boring and difficult to understand – something to be avoided like the plague. But, under the tutelage of Ms. Robinson, it has come alive! Not only does she describe and explain adjectives, adverbs, compound sentences, etc., etc., but she does so with humor and a bit of whimsy which delights the reader.
The book takes a very, very dull subject and jazzes it up so it becomes enjoyable for children and adults of all ages. And, given the subject matter, this was a monumental undertaking! But nothing seems to be too difficult for Snarls the dragon and his alter-ego, Diane M. Robinson. They breeze through the most difficult and confusing parts of the English language, explaining them in a clever and engaging manner.
I recommend this book for all writers, irrespective of age. Five big shiny stars for this break-through reference manual!
love the way this book makes it simple for children and adults to learn, review and refresh the rules of the English language. The author uses a chapter book approach to highlight parts of speech, sentence structure, modifiers, word agreement, punctuation, and confusing words. Robinson strives to leave no stone unturned. She even tackles ellipsis, brackets, braces, quotation marks, and em and en hyphens, which most readers of this book probably never knew existed.
Who doesn't love a challenge? At the end of each section, the author provides a mini quiz to test comprehension. When the reader finally reaches the end of the book, there is a mastery test on the contents of the entire book.
I would highly recommend this book for ages nine through ninety-nine. Keep it on your shelf to sharpen your skills and make your writing sparkle.
