Yummy Yucky (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Candlewick, 2003

Perfect book for real life situations
We bought this book in April, and it has come in handy! Our son has tried to eat sand, soap, coffee, dirt and several other "odd" things! So we are constantly saying examples from this book! He as well has started to recite things, as if to remind us. I definately ...

New readers love to learn the differences in words. My after school kids set a timer so each gets equal time with this book, They love it.

Opposites

Great book about opposites!
My son loves this book. He laughs when we get to "Whisper and SHOUT" and he likes the "hello, Goodbye" part, too. A great way to introduce toddlers to the concept of opposites!

Webster's New World Thesaurus

Charlton Laird, Staff of Webster's New World Dictionary

Webster's New World, 1999

Speachless
A most complete resource for writers or closet linguists. I can hardly find the words to describe this book

100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses (Edition 001)

Houghton Mifflin, 2004

Fun to flip through
This is cute book that is fun to flip through and keep with your dictionary. It is essentially just a small dictionary and beyond definitions doesn't go into detail on entomology.

No No Yes Yes (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Candlewick, 2008

we love this one!
I think this is my favorite of all the Leslie Patricelli books. The no-no's make my daughter and I both laugh! It also creates opportunities to talk about rules at your own house. I love these books because there are hardly any words- it's great hearing what my ...

The Foot Book: Dr. Seuss's Wacky Book of Opposites (Bright & Early Board Books(TM))

Dr. Seuss

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1996

My daughter's favourite book
We didn't have Dr. Seuss where I grew up so I don't have any misplaced emotional attachment to the "original"; for my daughter this will be the original. I love this little book and so does my daughter. When we start reading it she jumps up and down and laughs and ...

The New Oxford American Dictionary

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Great book!
Love the book and the delivery time was wonderful, too. The first thing you do when you get a new dictionary, of course, is to look up an obscure word. We looked up "perspicuous" and got our first belly laugh of the day when the definition was "clearly expressed and ...

Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Candlewick, 2003

Simple and Cute
My one year old son and I read every night. The colors and the simplicity of the idea makes it easy for him to understand and learn. So further emphasize the difference in quiet and loud, I use my voice, and he laughs.

New American Roget's College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form (Revised & Updated) (Signet Reference)

Philip D. Morehead

Signet, 2002

a very viable tool for the home office.
I found the Roget's College Thesaurus to be very beneficial when I need to have a handy reference guide and tool to use for all of my writing documents. However, I wish I could obtain this book in a larger sized format and in hard cover.

Roget's International Thesaurus, 6th Edition

Barbara Ann Kipfer

Collins, 2002

Roget's Original-style Thesaurus
Buy Roget's original-style thesaurus, not a "dictionary-style" thesaurus. The two versions are not in the same league: Roget's original organization is so much richer. Roget's format (non-dictionary) provides 50-times more synonyms and surrounds entries with pages of ...

Baby Happy Baby Sad (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Candlewick, 2008

Excellent addition to collection
We love this Patricelli book almost as much as the others. As usual, my toddler loved it initially because the baby in the book has nipples, a welcome detail that other books (infuriatingly) leave out. My two-year-old is fascinated by emotions, and loves the pendulum ...

Olivia's Opposites

Atheneum, 2002

Olivia's Opposites hardback
love the hardback indestructible nature of the book, perfect for the two and under crowd.

The Synonym Finder

J. I. Rodale, Nancy LaRoche

Grand Central Publishing, 1986

Best synonym resource period!
I have own a number of thesauruses in my day, but no one compares with the Synonym Finder by Rodale. The invaluable resource not only gives you dozens of alternative words, it also includes archaic and rare usages, too. Simply the best! Although I rarely use ...
