I need a picture book with lots of adverbs in it

[CookingApron]

A challenge for anyone who loves picture books. I've been hunting through my kids books but no luck.

I've got "Suddenly" (the Preston Pig one) but the only adverb in it is 'suddenly'.

I thought the Night Pirates might be good, but they don't creep quietly or stealthily, instead they are 'as quiet as mice, as stealthy as shadows'.

Any kids book will do. Any ideas?

Surely there must be one?

Quietly?

Giddily?

Quickly?

Happily?

Grumpily?

No idea but I’m curious so I’ll bump for you

Ooh, what about 'Slowly, Slowly, Slowly Said the Sloth' by Eric Carle?

Just found this and actually slowly is the only adverb in it (albeit repeated several times) so might not be suitable after all.

I've used up, up and away, dearly nearly insincerely and suddenly, alligator to teach about adverbs in the past if any of those are any help to you?

Interesting to learn about this absence in picture books, because by the time you get to the next stage (simple non-picture books for young children), adverbs are flung about in sickeningly huge quantities. I can't remember who the main offenders are. End Blyton? JK Rowling? I just have this vague sense of needing a big red pen when my children got to these.

Ooh I've just thought of Zachary Quack.... lazily buzzing through flowers and trees! That could work... off to hunt it down in the hope that there's more than just that one.

Thank you, though.

I can't get hold of Suddenly, Alligator, and I've not read it.

I didn't love Nearly Dearly. Too deliberately teachy.

I don't know Up Up and Away and will investigate now.

Thank you.

some of other hairy mclary ones are also good - scattercat and caterwaul caper
