From the back cover.

Lil' Pete the Preposition will lead you down the path toward preposition mastery. It's book seven 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. When launching his model rocket in the park, Lil' Pete gets excited and forgets to add objects to his prepositional phrases. Without objects, the prepositions become adverbs, and chaos ensues as the rockets fly up, by, and around with no direction at all. Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and examples of prepositions, compound prepositions, and prepositional phrases.

The Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter. The story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.
