Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know: What is a Synonym?

Brian P. Cleary's Words are Categorical series is a great way for kids to learn the different parts of speech, not to mention a quick and easy refresher for anybody. Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know begins with the definition of a synonym (A word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word.) before the title page. Each colorful page contains a sentence to help make it clear what words are synonyms ("They're words like, toss and pitch and throw, comprehend and grasp and know."). The illustrations feature multi-colored cats in various silly scenes. For example on the page that "the fridge was raided," the poor little cats are peering into the empty fridge with a few items scattered around the floor.
