Each page has a simple word on the bottom with an illustration depicting it. Some of the words on the pages side by side go together to make a phrase; others are opposites. Some pairings display how the same spelling of a word can be a different part of speech (like lean (adj) vs. lean (verb)). I especially liked the illustrations for woebegone and effervescent.
Most of the words are simple but a few will expand older readers vocabulary-collywobbles, scintilla and Brobdingnagian. Their meanings can be inferred via the pictures.
