big words

i saw jamie lee curtis on the today show this morning and loved the concept of her newest book. this is her eighth children's book, and like all the rest, this one is great! well, it looks great. i still need to pull some funds together to go out and get it! plus, we're still working on all the little words around this house but once calvin is just a little bit older i can't wait to read him this book and teach him the big words.


Synopsis
I know some big words. I'll teach them to you. Although you are small, you can use Big Words too. Big Words aren't scary. They're big fun to learn. I was taught once and now it's your turn.

BIG words, BIG laughs, BIG fun from the #1 national bestselling team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. The hilarious, boisterous, and zany family of Big Words for Little People learns that whether they're all shopping for shoes (COOPERATE) or walking the dog (RESPONSIBLE) or waiting on a verrrrry long line (PATIENCE), these BIG words will help them COMMUNICATE with the bigger world around them. Curtis and Cornell give kids the LANGUAGE of good values so that they'll UNDERSTAND what it means to do the right (APPROPRIATE) thing and live their best lives. And once kids learn what these words mean, they'll start to be EMPOWERED in a whole new and fun way.
