The Growing up with Grammar series and its adjunct, the Primary Grammar Dictionary, are at the cutting edge of modern practice in the teaching of English grammar in the primary school. The four student books cover the development of necessary grammatical knowledge, from the early years to the end of the junior school in a practical and readily accessible form. The grammar is taught within the context of use, across a spectrum of literary and factual text types, and insights on modern grammar beyond the sentence are included. The series has been carefully researched and is written by one of the most published authors in the field of primary school English in Australia.

Providing an introduction to the principal literacy theories, while maintaining a focus on the practical application of literacy skills to everyday teaching, this book is divided into three parts: Reading; Writing; and Children's Literature.

This book contains danger and excitement surrounding the adventures of two unlikely friends, a fish, Grippo the Friendly Shark, and an animal, Danny the Dolphin. Their close friendship within the book demonstrates the theme of accepting others that may be different.
