highly recommended

Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.

REMARKABLE!

This book belongs in every elementary classroom in America! This book is one of the funniest children's books I have ever read. The way in which the author introduces words and how to use them is indescribable in this short review. This book is FUN, creative, imaginative, and a thrill to read.

Can you believe it's one of my two-year-old's favorite books???

I looked at this book at a bookstore in February. I read it and didn't buy it because I thought that no two-year-old would like it. I was wrong. We found it in the libary a month or two ago and checked it out. It quickly became the must-read bedtime story for my daughter. She turns three in two weeks and she's receiving her very own copy for her birthday! She thinks it's the coolest book!

A Plethora of Exquisite Words

I adore this book. I am a 4th grade teacher, and I read this book to my class. They were intrigued with the variety of words presented. The author offers a glossary for a greater understanding of the words. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read or teaches writing.

interesting

this story is about a boy who loves words. he collects words and saves his favourites and he's ostracized because of this and comes to a point where he's left home and a man stumbles upon some of his words and makes a poem out of them. he then decides it's his purpose to spread his words around the world. at the end he meets a girl named melody and the narrator says if ever a word comes upon you it's because of the boy, and if you feel like singing it's because melody's with him.

kind of working the muse idea. this book was ok, but i've seen the 'divine inspiration' idea done better elsewhere. it has a little glossary at the back of the book that goes over some of the more difficult words they use, because some fancy words are put you use, so that's good.

overall, there are better stories out there, but this one is a decent read.
