A Plethora of Exquisite Words

I adore this book. I am a 4th grade teacher, and I read this book to my class. They were intrigued with the variety of words presented. The author offers a glossary for a greater understanding of the words. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read or teaches writing.

A Writing Teacher's Inspiration Tool

The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Schotter is a must have book to inspire struggling writers. It is a perfect addition to a teacher's collection of literature books to demonstrate the 6 Traits of writing.

Can you believe it's one of my two-year-old's favorite books???

I looked at this book at a bookstore in February. I read it and didn't buy it because I thought that no two-year-old would like it. I was wrong. We found it in the libary a month or two ago and checked it out. It quickly became the must-read bedtime story for my daughter. She turns three in two weeks and she's receiving her very own copy for her birthday! She thinks it's the coolest book!

REMARKABLE!

This book belongs in every elementary classroom in America! This book is one of the funniest children's books I have ever read. The way in which the author introduces words and how to use them is indescribable in this short review. This book is FUN, creative, imaginative, and a thrill to read.

My 2 year loves to use all of the words!

As both a middle school English teacher and the mother of two children (34 months and 14 months), I loved this book...at this point I have read it to my son about 30 times in a row because he is fascinated with it. Selig uses great words to ellaborate on his thoughts, feelings, and actions. This book has enhnaced my son's vocabulary (he used the word tintabullating the other day) and my sixth graders also throw some of the words around. Along with the great words comes a great story with a rich plot, which is not always the case with children's books. The illustrations could be better, but I love the way the words are all over the pages.
