Twenty-six interesting, complex words are featured in this book. Each word has a story to help explain what it means and also how to pronounce it. The stories have puns and mnemonic devices in them.
Very fun!
Sampling of the words:
abasement, bifurcate, coruscate, ubiquitous
Also, the same team (different illustrator-Katherine Karcz) wrote a second book-Weighty Words, Too.
Sampling of the words from this book:
katzenjammer, surreptitious, tirade, zany
Great to use in classroom-"word a day".
Skills: vocabulary, word choice, word play
*Highly recommend.
