Grammar has often been taught as the joyless process of memorizing rules, diagramming sentences and correcting fabricated errors, but most writers will tell you that grammar is much more than a set of rules or a list of commands. Grammar promotes a love of language--grammar is fun.
With the help of over 120 off-the-wall illustrations and gobs of goofy examples and exercises, this quirky book provides a lighthearted and ludicrous guide to the essential elements of language and grammar (not to mention a few writing tips tossed into the mix). It’s Shel Silverstein meets Strunk and White and the results are both hilarious and instructive
