In color drawings and catchy rhymes, Heller explains how adverbs answer precisely the questions of how, how often, when, and where. Also use by Heller: A Cache of Jewels and Other Collective Nouns (on collective nouns) and Kites Sail High (on verbs) (both 1998). Rhyming text and illustrations introduce adverbs and their uses to younger students.
