Author & Illustrators
One for all future linguistics geeks including adults, this is a great book for introducing the incredible stories hidden inside every word. Offering so much more than just a definition and an etymology each entry tells the story of how words came to mean what they do in an engaging and easily understandable style. Explanations of roots, prefixes and suffixes help support language skills and build vocabulary along the way.
