Dear Margie,
We have several nice series on grammar: "Words are Categorical" by Brian P. Cleary, with titles such as Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know: What is a Synonym?, published by Carolrhoda, and also an older series, by Ruth Heller, such as Mine, All Mine: A Book About Pronouns, published by Groseet & Dunlap. Both are great for elementary age.

I am looking for titles about parts of speech, grammar and language for elementary kids. It would be something similar to the School House Rock, but in a book format. Does anyone know of any such titles?
Thanks,
Margie Wirth
