Detailed information

As seen on TikTok: the viral children's book sensation beloved by kids of all ages. Learn and remember the definitions of words like felicity, truculent, and vacillate with the help of funny stories and beautiful illustrations.If a picture is worth a thousand words, one big word, correctly used, is worth numerous little words. The big words in this bookone for each letter of the alphabethave been selected not only for their frequency in the written language, but also for their sound. In every instance, the word has more than one syllable and the sound of the word lends itself to a pun. The stories in the book are, as you will see, suggested by the pun. Although the stories are fanciful, they lead to the correct meaning of the words. By recalling the story and the concluding pun, children ought to remember what each word means. The stories and the puns, therefore, serve as memory hooks and encourage children to increase their vocabulary by forming their own mnemonics for any new words they encounter.
