I enjoyed reading this book but it could be a challenge for kids to enjoy it. I would suggest this book for kids above level in their reading. That being said, my daughter is an advanced reader. She is 8 years old for reference. :) She always asks me about difficult-to-understand words. I read this book with her and she enjoyed learning about the words. She liked the illustrations and examples. The examples were a nice addition to explaining the words. I liked that there were quotes to help make words even clearer to understand meaning. As a parent, I can use all the help I can get, which this book helps with.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.
This was a great book. As a child, I did have a big vocabulary for someone my age. This book would be great for a child with a big vocabulary or for a child that doesn't have a big vocabulary but their parents want them to learn more words. Words can be very fascinating!

Richie’s Picks: COLOSSAL WORDS FOR KIDS by Colette Miller and Tor Freeman, ill., Quarto/Frances Lincoln, May 2024, 80p., ISBN: 978-0-7112-7875-2
“What are words for
When no one listens
What are words for
When no one listens
There's no use talking at all”
– Missing Persons (1982)
“Your word is your wand
There’s a wonderful feeling in knowing precisely the right word for something. Like fitting in a piece of a jigsaw–it’s hugely satisfying. And it helps you get straight to the point. Who’d ever want to say second to last when instead you could say…
penultimate!”
“Fettle
To be in fine fettle
is a fine place to be.
You’re thriving and doing
spectacularly.
There’s no dreadful fettle.
There’s just the one kind.
And that type of fettle
will always be fine.”
COLOSSAL WORDS FOR KIDS is a valuable resource book that’s an absolute gas! It’s a super-fun way to learn new vocabulary words, and it will serve as a model for young readers and writers to craft their own rhyming word definitions.
“Hit the volume!
These poems are meant to be read aloud–even if no one else is around! Doing this helps you remember the word. Plus, it’s fun. Keep a steady beat. Try not to rush. And give any punchline a bit of a punch!”
“Acrimonious
When a conversation
is not the least harmonious
but full of angry bitterness
we say it’s acrimonious.”
COLOSSAL WORDS FOR KIDS contains 75 of these very fun poetic word definitions. As the author explains, the definitions are not just told to you. Through these clever poems, they unfold for you. Plenty of avid readers and budding young poets who discover this book will gobble up the poems without a moment’s hesitation. In classrooms, the book will lend itself to great participatory and follow-up activities.
It’s so easy to imagine elementary- and middle school-aged kids each choosing one of the book’s poems to practice at home and then perform for the class. You’ve gotta believe that doing so will lead to plenty of these wonderful words being retained by both the performers and the audience members.
Having them emulate the book’s definition poems could be a popular creative exercise leading to even more vocabulary building. It might help to develop some basic guidelines to assist students in choosing an out-of-the-ordinary descriptive word for which they can design their own fun, poetic definitions. Being that I just happened to be working on a practical math problem today–designing plans for a backyard gazebo, I thought that “hypotenuse” might be a fun one to try. But it was awfully challenging because that is not a descriptive word. It’s a thing. I would suggest that teachers either put together a good-sized cache of sophisticated, descriptive words from which students can choose, or at least explain the potential pitfalls when they are choosing a word they will be working with.
Having students also illustrate their word definition poems will undoubtedly yield eye-catching, perfect-for-parents-night postings to hang up–and learn from–around the classroom.
My experience is that creating one of these poems does take some effort. I find it quite impressive how the author assembled dozens of these thoroughly-entertaining definition poems.
Okay. Here’s my try:
Loquacious
I hate to be ungracious
But he’s just so darned loquacious
Talking on and on and on and on and on
Can someone make him shush
Before my poor brain turns to mush
And my will to live is truly all but gone

Colossal Words for Kids is truly such an exceptional take on the collection of word books for young minds to learn. Oftentimes when we see books like these, you get a bunch of words illustrated beautifully—sometimes with eye-catching pictures alongside them—and the definition right by its side. But this author is creative, instead crafting exquisite poems to mentally build an image in the reader’s mind for the words and provide various examples of how to use it.
I had such a blast reading this book and was incredibly excited and impressed with it throughout. So much so that I was certain I would be purchasing it in the future! And for such a fantastic book with what I would consider to be an exceptional ability to engage young minds in their language development, it’s therefore incredibly disappointing that I find myself questioning the appropriateness of doing so—I’ll explain in a moment.
Perhaps the only tiny criticism I have of the book’s specific definitional content is that it would have been nice to also have the actual definition of each word included. I don’t think it would have made sense to place it alongside the wonderful poems or beautiful illustrations, but a few pages at the end to list out the definitions of each word would have done wonders!
All of this said, back to my previous point, I do feel it is important of me to add, however, that this book did make a rather huge—or should I say colossal?—misstep. It’s 2024. I think nearly all of us are aware of the very real concerns centered around J. K. Rowling. And sure, we can all have a conversation about how the author is not her books and we will not condemn loving the Harry Potter series. However, that does not excuse, in my book, choosing to have her be the most quoted author in this book. Specifically, she is quoted a total of four times.
Of all the other included authors, only one author—Louisa May Alcott—is quoted more than once. In fact, Alcott is quoted only twice!
Do you really mean to tell me, that out of all the written works in the world, you could not find another author who penned the word you were using in your poem to illustrate your definition?
This author can’t even make the paltry argument that the decision was made due to notoriety because not only are there a vast abundance of notable authors to choose from, but Sandhya Menon—while popular, not an author I would classify as very well known throughout the world—is quoted!
This was a gross and egregious mistake, in my view, to make in this book. And it’s enough to have me fairly certain I won’t be purchasing this book at any point in the future. It’s honestly quite disappointing since Colossal Words for Kids would otherwise be a book I’d easily get for my learning center and home.

Quite an engaging long-words-for-short-people book, that bulks up our understanding of them all through a verse from our compiler, and quite often a quote from a highly school-approved author. Some of these will be much appreciated by certain teachers – 'alliteration' and 'hyperbole', for two, are bound to come up at some point in English, but others screaming for their place in the curriculum ('sustainable' leapt out) are absent. There is little rhyme nor reason, then, but this isn't designed to be strictly on the educational side of the Venn diagram, it and its full-colour artwork are here for fun too. And so we get quirky words like 'discombobulate' (one of those words that implies an obvious opposite that is practically never used), 'kerfuffle' and 'querulous'.
The benefits of this is that the hard miles have been put into the rhymes, therefore we see the words in action, and of course get to nail their pronunciation if they're part of a couplet or quatrain. I mean, not all the poems are classics, but they're all decent enough for these purposes. The bigger issue is if this does or does not make gaining such word knowledge seem like fun – as a sustainable hobby, perhaps. To me, it just about felt like it did, and with little to report as a caveat this is a four-star winner.

What's your "idiosyncrasy"? It may be "nondescript" or "scintillating" or maybe you're "oblivious" to it. Whatever it is, you'll probably find a word for it in this fun, fun book. I had a great deal of fun reading the rhythmic wordplay within, chuckling at the colorful, humorous illustrations. At times the words and letters seemed to have a life of their own, too, meandering (you'll find that word defined within) about the page, creating shapes that help convey the meanings. Make sure you check out that "Z" for "zest" and the "Y" in "unruly".
I highly recommend this one for my teacher friends and, for that fact, anyone with children (or even adult friends) fascinated by wordplay. Not only do you get humorous definitions that are far more fun than anything you'll find in a dictionary, but there are added bits here and there about authors and, well, words. Even better, some of the nuances are tackled. So, don't be "doleful" like Eeyore. Order a copy now. If not, it'll be a "colossal" (yes, that word is in there, too) shame and deprive you of fun moments. Thanks #QuartoPublishingGroup and #FrancesLincolnChildren'sBooks for sharing this sneak peek via #NetGalley. As an avid reader, not to mention writer and former English teacher, I loved it.

I want Colossal Words for Kids for every English Language Arts (ELA) lesson I've taught in the past and every Orton-Gillingham tutorial I'll facilitate in the future.
This book is phenomenal. Its inclusion of several ELA-specific words—including adjective, onomatopoeia, and synonymous—makes it an instant classroom-ready resource, but the best thing about it is that it's just plain fun! The poems that define each term are short (see: brevity) and well-metered, perfect for reading aloud, which the author rightly recommends in the introductory pages.
Moreover, each poem/definition is enhanced with an illustration—a perfect aid for dyslexic learners and struggling readers—and many include a fun quote from literature or history.
This book belongs everywhere—in libraries, classrooms, homeschools, and tutoring kits. While its target audience is 7- to 12-year-olds, it would also make a perfect resource and vocabulary journal template for older learners.

‘Your word is your wand’. Packed full of wonderful words, Colossal Words for Kids introduces children to the power of vocabulary and the delight of the English language.
So much more fun than a dictionary, the quick rhymes provide helpful and witty context to the words, which are further reinforced by facts and fun quotes from other literature. The combination of punchy rhymes and bright and lively animations make these fun words just jump off the page.
An excellent book for upper primary school kids to enjoy with their parents. There’s so much to explore in the rhymes, pictures and snippets that I think it will be enjoyed over again. An accompanying audiobook could also be a great addition- the authors are right in that this book is most fun when read aloud. My favourite words were exhilarated, testy, and chortle.
Thank you Francis Lincoln Children’s Books, and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

I very much enjoyed reading the silly rhymes which effectively defined each of the 75 words in this book (not 60 as in the book description). And the silly rhymes are illustrated with equally silly cartoons rendered in graphite and coloured pencil. A sample of the words included: onomatopoeia, effervescent, disingenuous, acquiesce, hyperbole, scintillating, infinitesimal, and more. Many of the words are accompanied by a text box with a quotation using that word. The problem is, while the reader will learn what the word means, they will not learn how to pronounce any of the words, because there is no pronunciation guide for any of the words. A child might be able to figure out the pronunciation for some of the words, but some are simply not pronounced the way they are spelled, or which syllable to accent could be tricky. Otherwise, a really good book to help build a young child's vocabulary.

Colossal Words for Kids by Colette Hiller, illustrated by Tor Freeman: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Format: ARC from Francis Lincoln Children's Books
Since starting Kindergarten this year, my son's interest in reading and language has taken off. This book was perfect for him. Colossal Words for Kids features 75 words that aren't used frequently in everyday language, with silly poems and accompanying illustrations for each word to better explain the meaning and appropriate use of each word. As an adult reading this to a child, I found the book delightful and amusing for us both! This book is best suited for children ages four and up, though many children would likely read this with an adult to assist with pronunciation of the colossal words. Thank you to Francis Lincoln Children's Books for the ARC!

When I started reading this book out loud to my son (7 years old), my whole family perked up and floated into the room to listen. My daughter even demanded that I read louder so she could hear from her bedroom. This was such a clever way to introduce what I like to call $5 words to kids. Poetry, rhymes and built in examples. The context clues are clear and lead readers easily to the definition. The illustrations were fun too. I liked that quotations from books were included to show use of the word, but not happy with the lack of diversity of the texts and authors they were pulled from. Overall, a great book for an advanced young reader.

How about a book that is fun and builds vocabulary at the same time. This book is amazing and I have used it all week with my speech language kids. The poems are well thought out and scintillating and the illustrations are equally inventive. This little treasure has words beginning at A and ending at Z. Some of the words are used in a visually descriptive way to emphasis the meaning. I also enjoyed the little blocks at the bottom of the page using the same words with excerpts from a well known poet to Harry Potter. There is nothing soporific about this quaint little gem. It’s so much fun my students and I practiced chortling throughout the book
March 5, 2024
What a fantastic book! I loved the word choices, how varied they were and how there were so many. Instead of treating the entries in a dictionary format, there are so many other ways you learn the words, such as through poetry. I'd recommend this for homes, classrooms, and library storytimes. Participation not only generates energy but helps readers to remember these fancy words. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

A book of poems that teaches kids (and adults) new words! I loved the format of this book, and found it super approachable and fun. I think my high school students could benefit from this too because they definitely do not know a lot of these words!

I went a little wild with the hashtag thingy on the previous page but I seriously love this one. It is not your run-of-the-mill word bank kind of books. Every new word is introduced with a poem. It is literally a masterpiece.
I have added it onto my shopping list on Amazon and will be ordering at least 10 copies when it is out, 9 of them of course will be presents for my students.

What a brilliant resource for teaching your child some large and complex words in a fun and colourful way,
On each page you are provided with a word. The author has then used it in an engaging rhyme which will make it very memorable and hopefully easier for your child to remember.
Even as an adult I felt I learned a lot of new words. Think this is a very useful learning tool.

I work with students who benefit from seeing difficult words in a variety of settings, so I’m always on the lookout for these sort of books. The book was fun and engaging! It was a great way to support kids/students with higher level vocabulary. The only thing I’d want added is some sort of pronunciation guide for the words.

I read a digital copy courtesy of the publisher and Net Galley.
This delightful collection of very descriptive words is accompanied by fun vibrant illustrations and a poem whose rhyme is designed to remember the definition of the word. Word nerds will rejoice!

I love it! So fun and playful with cute whimsical art. The poems are perfect representations of the words they are illustrating.
A joyous learning experience.
