Overview

Your child already knows big words feel different in the mouth. This book gives them 26 of the best ones. Between ages four and eight, something quietly extraordinary happens. Children stop treating words as tools and start treating them as toys. They repeat words that feel good. They say them louder than necessary just to feel the weight of them. They are, without knowing it, ready for something bigger. My First A-Z Weighty Word Book for Little Dreamers was written for exactly that window, before school makes vocabulary feel like homework, when a big word is still an adventure. Meet Pip the fox, Bear the bear, and Noodle the flamingo, three unforgettable friends who stumble into a new word in every chapter, always at the worst possible moment, always in the funniest possible situation, and always with a pun at the end that makes the word impossible to forget. WHAT IS INSIDE THIS BOOK - 26 big, beautiful vocabulary words, one for every letter of the alphabet, from ADVENTUROUS to ZEALOUS - 26 original funny stories with warmhearted characters your child will ask to see again and again - 26 clever puns that link the word's sound to its meaning, the single most proven method for vocabulary retention in young children - 26 interactive activities per entry, draw it, say it loud, clap the syllables, fill in the sentence, and more, rotating so no two pages feel the same - Child-friendly definitions written in real language, not dictionary language, because definitions that sound like encyclopedias teach children that definitions are boring - A My Favorite Weighty Word fill-in page where your child writes their own big word and invents their own definition - 113 full-color illustrated pages with original artwork in a warm ink-line watercolor style WHAT THIS BOOK DOES FOR YOUR CHILD * Builds genuine vocabulary retention through story, humor, and repetition, not drills * Develops read-aloud confidence, every entry is designed specifically for the mouth as much as the eye * Strengthens listening comprehension through carefully constructed story arcs * Encourages a love of language at the age when that love is easiest to build and hardest to unlearn * Gives children the specific pleasure of knowing a word before their friends do, which is, at age five, an extraordinary social currency.
