'Highly recommended' * Gretchen McCulloch, Twitter * 'GORGEOUS book. We started out with me quizzing 11-year-old, but she found it more fun to quiz me.' -- Lynne Murphy, Professor at Sussex University * Twitter * 'EXCEPTIONAL. My mam and I just sat for a good half an hour finding new words.' -- Steph * alittlebutalot, Twitter * 'A brilliant way to encourage children to appreciate the beauties of our language and to extend their vocabulary and improve their writing skills. Wonderful!' * Parents in Touch * 'A fun, playful and clever book brimming with perplexing words ... You could have a lot of fun just pronouncing the words, as well as trying to get them into everyday language. A wonderfully whimsical celebration of words.' * Just Imagine * 'will amaze even the most eloquent wordsmith (adult or child!)' * Angels and Urchins * 'fantastic for dipping into or reading right through ... some wonderful notes at the beginning about the parts of speech, and how to work out what a word means and how to pronounce it, as well as some simple notes at the end about usage, and all written in a bouncy light tone, which feels friendly and yet still authoritative. Quite a frabjous book.' * Minerva Reads * 'a fantastically fun family book' * Let Them Be Small *
What is a bumbershoot? Or a moonbow? And what does it mean when someone absquatulates...?
