The Big Weighty Word Book For Kids

Some words sparkle. Help your child collect them. Audacious. Cantankerous. Whimsical. Effervescent. Quintessential. Some words are bigger than others — not in size, but in feeling. They roll off the tongue. They make a sentence stand a little taller. They make a child's listener lean in. The Big Weighty Word Book FOR KIDS is a beautifully illustrated A-to-Z storybook that turns twenty-six of the most marvellous words in the English language into twenty-six unforgettable adventures. Tucked inside these warm watercolor pages, your child will meet: — Pip, the tiny mouse who outsmarts the meanest cat in three counties — Mr. Bramble, the cantankerous old hedgehog who finds a baby sparrow — Tilly, the little turtle who longs to touch the moon — Zippy, the zealous squirrel who builds one hundred flying machines (the last one works) …and twenty-two more characters whose stories will stick in your child's heart — and vocabulary — for life. Each chapter is a complete story. Each story ends with a kid-friendly definition, a real-life example sentence, and a "Big Word Bonus" that shares the surprising history of the word. The book closes with a full glossary and six pages of word games and activities that make learning feel like play.
