"Monsters Can Mosey," by Gillia Olson - chock-full of juicy CCSS
Tier II verbs and adjectives - features Freddy (a female monster)
and her mom exploring ways Freddy might participate in the annual
holiday parade. Check out these active verbs: lurch, slither,
glide, trudge, prance, prowl, clomp, lumber, ooze, tiptoe, march,
strut and stomp. And these exciting adjectives: scary, unnerving,
spooky, creepy, horrifying, frightening, terrifying. And that's
just a small taste.-- "The ASHA Leader, "There's a Book for
That!""
It's not often that a series can introduce key concepts and be
entertaining at the same time, yet this collection does just that.
From Monsters, where a monster tries to figure out the best way she
should walk (should she prowl, glide, or lumber?), to whatever, in
which a boy speaks without punctuation and therefore no emotion,
these books amuse and teach. . . .A standout series.-- "School
Library Journal"
