Review:
If you have curious kids
who love the written word, are avid readers or just simply want to know more
about a word’s origin, this guide is perfect.
Homo sapiens started
forming words more than 1.7 million years ago. Since then, words have changed.
This is called Etymology. Included in this guide readers will learn about roots
and branches from various cultures, origins and more. This book is setup like a
dictionary. Readers can locate a word alphabetically. There are sections on
word play included here too. Colorful and fun illustrations depict some popular
words. The back pages share references and resources for further learning.
Parents and teachers will love this little gem for classrooms and home.
