Book Synopsis


Trade Review
[The Weighty Word Book] will appeal to kids who want to sound as smart as they are. It offers a clever, funny way to introduce new words into the vocabulary.... There's one word for every letter of the alphabet - wait until you see what they do with dogmatic, juxtapose and zealot. - The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colorado) ""Each of these twenty-six short stories takes an elaborate, circuitous path that leads to a 'weighty' one-word punch line.... It's a creative and humorous approach to vocabulary building, and a natural lead in to having students create their own tall tales with multisyllabic conclusions."" - Library School Journal
