Boy Who Loved Words

by Roni Schotter

In this Parents' Choice Gold Award–winning book, Selig collects words, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.

Reviews

This was alright. I love the idea of it and certain aspects make it really neat, like the focus on the more interesting and unique words out there as well as the accompanying glossary in the back. However, the story itself seemed a bit lacking in...something, though I'm not sure what. The illustrations were pretty at times but not a favorite.
