Benny the Adverb may be extremely bossy, but if you listen to him carefully, you'll quickly learn a lot about adverbs. When his prized rock collection is stolen from the bank, Benny opens an investigation into how and when the theft took place and where the thief might have gone. Benny the Adverb is book four of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the noun’s place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, the Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.
