The Dictionary of Difficult Words
The Dictionary of Difficult Words is a
delightful book for budding wordsmiths!
A brief introduction gives the reader
permission to read the book straight through from A to Z to learn new things,
or not read it at all, and just look at the pictures.
The illustrations are whimsical and eye-catching.
With interesting pictures and cool words like Quixotic and Salubrious,
I don’t doubt that whatever approach is taken new words will be learned.
My only recommendation for a change would be
to replace the word “Difficult” in the title. I fear that could be off-putting
to some children who would otherwise benefit from this book. This collection of
words may more aptly be described as “less common”. I dare say most adults
would gain from perusing this volume.
