Synopsis:
Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him -- short and sweet words, two-syllable treats, and multi-syllable words that sound like little songs. Words that connect, transform, and empower.
My review:
All of us at some point start collecting something. I happen to collect books, writing materials, and art stuff. So, when I picked up this book at my local library, it seemed like a fun book to read. I was not disappointed.
This book starts out talking about collections, just as I did here; but this collection is different: words! Although the book pages had few words on them (mostly a picture book), it did capture the essence of a word collector.
The young boy found words everywhere he looked, they even "jumped out at him." I can relate to that for I do find some extraordinary words everywhere. This boys collection grew in mass as he took all of his words and put them in scrapbooks. Oh, art!
However, one day the words became bigger and became new words. I won't tell you how, that would spoil the book. I can say though,his love for words grew and he used them in different ways. It is just too bad that I did not see some definitions for some of the words, especially the harder words
Then one day...oh wait...I cannot tell you the end with my words, that would ruin the whole book for you.
So, I will just say, the illustrations are as big and bold as the words on the pages. Get this book as it is one for all ages. *wink*
4 stars.
