Bloom's Bouquet of Imaginary Words: Change One Letter and Grow a Brand New Word!

by Jeffrey Bloom, Carole Bloom, Annabeth Albert, et al.

Book Overview

In Bloom's Bouquet , words blossom. You know what a pigeon is, but what is a "pugeon"? An overweight bird, of course. Change one letter of "destination" and you get a place where dirt ends up: "dustination." If you are late to ballet class, you are "leotardy." The author of a horror film is a "scareenwriter." The 599 new words in Bloom's Bouquet are organized into such categories as "Plumpkins & Grimlets" (Food and Drink), "Froshbite & Frollicles"...

Customer Reviews

great gift item

Clever and charming, this little book is a must stocking stuffer for your literate friend or relative. I hope they come out with a sequel!

Utterly Charming! A Gem!

Not expecting much, I picked up this little book while waiting in line at my local Barnes & Noble. By the time I reached the cashier I was laughing so hard I had to step aside to catch my breath. Afterward I bought 10 copies to give to my friends and co-workers, who found the book as clever as I did. Even the drawings are great! This book is a gem, to be treasured and re-read for years.

bite-size treats

Like a bowl of Hershey's kisses, this sweet little book delights with clever verbal bonbons. And they're not fattening.

Terrific

This is a terrific little book that makes a great gift. The "imaginary" words are inventive and so funny that I was laughing out loud!

Best gift ever!
