The Admiral Goes to the Rescue

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Words (WOW). This 20-part series of books aims to help children learn English grammar in a fun and meaningful way through stories. Children will be able to understand how grammar works through the exciting tales of the characters from WOW Kingdom and Forest. The stories also help children learn vocabulary that is integrated with grammar, so they can use words accurately in sentences and help improve their writing.

What’s Inside
• Imaginative stories that engage children, and help develop an interest in learning grammar
• Adventures that encourage children to learn and understand grammar, and not just memorise rules
• Games and activities to reinforce learning and check for understanding  

In this volume, children learn about the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. They not only learn the grammar rules of how these forms are constructed, but more importantly, they learn about such forms within the context of stories to help them use these forms more fluently in sentences.
