The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder: Revised and Expanded Edition

by Justin Heimberg, Steve Harwood, Chris Schultz

Book Overview

Increasing word power sounds like one of those dreary chores best palmed off on somebody else. The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder, the first in Fall Media's series of irreverent, educational books, makes the activity not only endurable but irresistible.

Grammar resource

This book is hilarious!!! I'd recommend it to any teacher who has a sense of humor and is willing to add a little zing into the day for the kids and staff...a must read.

Vocabulary building becomes addictive

This book has been great. I bought it for my 7th grade daughter and she's been reading it and repeating the jokes. She's spreading them around her school too. She had kids on the school bus repeating the jokes and even a girlfriend who has absolutely no interest in anything academic was repeating the Yo Momma jokes in this book with big vocabulary words. What a fun way to learn vocabulary. By the way, the jokes in this book are really clean and the attitude is really positive. It seems like it could be crude, but it's not. It's just a way to put new vocabulary words in the hands of today's kids so they can learn the words.

Turgid with Persiflage

Received this little marvel for the holidays. Entertaining and educational. A great gift for any wordsmith.

Great & Clever Book

This book is very clever and will be appealing to Jr. and High School students. They will learn vocabulary in spite of themselves with this!

Awesome!

How can a book provide more? It entertains at rest, and inculcates on the can.
