Robin Pulver does a great job of making grammar easy. The students cannot start summer vacation until they learn suffixes, so the teacher tells them that they will 'tackle' endings after lunch. The suffixes think they are going to get hurt, so they go to the gym to toughen up. Then the suffixes leave clues for the students by putting the suffixes before the root word. Once the students figure out the clues they find the suffixes. Happy Endings covers a variety of endings, using a different color text when words have a suffix attached. The clues left in the story could be incorporated in a lesson activity for students after reading the story. There is also a list of rules at the end of the book about adding suffixes.
