Big Words for Little People Review

Big Words for Little People by Jamie Lee Curtis and illustrated by Laura Cornell, 2008, Harper Collins Publishing

Big Words for Little People is a great book that I personally enjoyed reading, however, it is intended for children in order to teach them words they may not normally know or use. It has an introduction that gives the reader the feeling that using big words are fun to use and not to be intimidated by them.

Some of the words taught are: privacy, cooperate and stupendous. The words are introduced in sentences that rhyme so it is a fun read. The illustrations are very unique. Each page is full of drawings that help describe the sentences introducing the word.

The author, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, and illustrator Laura Cornell have worked on several other books together that have made the bestseller list. The cost is $16.99 at bookstores.
