Book Reviews of The Weighty Word Book

Book Review: It has the kids circling around
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book to help my soon to be fifth grade daughter who has an interest in language. Her best friend now asks for us to read the book whenever she comes over. My daughter took it on a camping trip and kids came from all around to read it with us. They love it! Even my husband enjoys hearing the stories (we both learned a couple new words, and we have masters degrees!). Buy this book for any older elementary child you know. Its a great gift to their future and they will have a great time with it!

Summary of The Weighty Word Book

By combining fable and pun, the authors have created a refreshing approach to the often dull task of vocabulary-building. This fully illustrated collection of stories offers a witty and wonderful alphabet soup that is designed to introduce children to new and unusual words.
