Cleary's upbeat rhymes and Brian Gable's sidesplitting illustrations bring compound words to life. We've highlighted the compound words with colored type to make them easy to identify. <em>Thumbtacks, Earwax, Lipstick, Dipstick: What Is a Compound Word?</em> overturns traditional grammar lessons.

Besides giving many examples, the rhyming, rhythmic text explains that although compound words are most commonly used as nouns, they can also be used to describe nouns or to show action. In the comical digital artwork, daffy animal characters appear in colorful scenes illustrating compound words such as armpit, earthquake, seasick, and understand. <strong>An enjoyable addition to language arts units.</strong> --<em>Booklist Online</em></p>-- "Website" (12/8/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>In this latest addition to the eye-catching, feline-filled cartoon series, comical pictures and brief text demonstrate that compound words come in many forms and lengths. Cleary concludes with a reminder that though these words are often longer, decoding them is easily done by taking them apart. --<em>School Library Journal </em></p>-- "Journal" (10/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br>
