Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm always skeptical of 5 star ratings on Amazon but nevertheless I ordered a copy of this book out of sheer desperation to find an accessible grammar book. BIG thank you to the previous reviewers- the Giggly Guide is a gem! I have bought many books on grammar over the years but the dry, sometimes under explained definitions meant they've sat on my shelf being ignored. The Giggly Guide is humorously written and uses easily understandable explanations and examples. The activities help consolidate ideas and the fun sentences will help students engage with them. Yes the book is meant for kids, but any adult wanting to improve their grammar spoil yourself and get a copy. I've included a short extract from the book on 'pronouns' to let you see the style and kind of things done in the book... START OF EXCERPT Pronouns A pronoun is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns. While there are a billion gazillion nouns, there are far fewer pronouns. (As a matter of fact, you'll find almost all of the little critters on a few short lists that just happen to be in this chapter.) Take a look at the following sentences and see if you notice anything unusual about the way they're written (duh). Semore is an unusual child. Yesterday, Semore shaved his head with Semore's father's electric razor. Then Semore carefully braided the hairs on Semore's legs and arms. On Semore's face, Semore applied a rub-on tattoo of a small warthog. Semore's parents hope that Semore is simply going through a phase. It doesn't take a neurosurgeon to figure out that this paragraph contains waaaaaaaay too many Semore's. Why? No pronouns! Let's face it. Language would be pretty boring if we had to use the same words over and over. Pronouns help alleviate some of the monotony. The sentence would be much better written with pronouns: Semore is an unsual child. Yesterday, he shaved his head with his father's electric razor. Then he carefully braided the hairs on his legs and arms. On his face, he applied a rub-on tattoo of a small warthog. His parents hope that he is simply going through a phase. Whew. That's better. The second paragraph replaces names with personal pronouns. You're probably familiar with personal pronouns. Here's the list. END OF EXCERPT
