Enjoy!" ★Bo and Jo are back with new adventures as their classroom votes for a new class pet. Counting, counting, counting... The goldfish wins! Cheers! But a goldfish just swims. Swim! Swim! Yawn!

Will the third vote finally pick a winner, and will Bo or Jo get their choice of pets?VOTE: Verbing Wildly is Book 2 of the Silly Grammar Story series, and it tells the whole story with only verbs and adverbs. Verbs are blue. Adverbs and punctuation are black. And nouns? They're pink, and they are not allowed in this book.
