On the Third Day of Christmas...
...my true love gave to me, books for kids who love words!
Yes, this is a category. And I have discovered in the last year two amazing books that fall under this category. Do you have a budding Daniel Webster in your home? Do you want to instill a passion for precision? Here are two for you!
13 Words by Lemony Snicket
Age 7 - 12
13 Words takes, well, thirteen random words, and creates a story using them. Bird, hat, baby, panache, convertible, and despondent are just some of the words thrown together. How is this possible? Well, it just is! The colorful, simplistic illustrations are a the perfect pairing to this cheeky story. Check out the book trailer for a glimpse into some wonderful words and a sublime story! (By the way, I am loving book trailers!)
The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Schotter
Age 8 - 12
Selig loves words. He loves them so much he collects them and stuffs the words, written on slips of paper, in his pockets, his socks...everywhere! But nobody appreciates his love of words. That is, until his words slip away from him and a poet finds just the right words he is looking for when Selig's words float down upon him. Selig discovers his purpose in life, to be a wordsmith. He gives bakers words to describe their treats, he gives neighbors words to help create a peaceful neighborhood. Read The Boy Who Loved Words to discover just how powerful words can be!
