Description: This illustrated nonfiction picture book explores the meaning and origins of words and how they've evolved over the years.
Review Quotes:
"A starter kit for young etymologists. Questions addressed to readers will elicit active engagement. McLaughlin's lineless, slightly simplified but realistically detailed color cartoons against flat backgrounds allow the words to shine. An appealing and enlightening examination of the gallimaufry that is English."
