Synopsis:
Kids are never too young to start learning!
With big, fun-to-say words for every letter of the alphabet, this book will deliver read-aloud laughs while teaching something new to both parent and child.

Do you know your gnashnabb from your widdershins? When was the last time you saw something orchidaceous or dolichopodous? Learn all these sophisticated words and more in this brilliant picture book by bestselling authors James and Susan Patterson!
With bright imaginative artwork by Hsinping Pan, each word offers a definition and pronunciation to give your little genius--and you!--the most impressive vocabulary ever. Includes a list of extra words in the back for further reading.

Our Thoughts:
From 'ailurophile' to 'zoanthropy', Bigger Words for Little Geniuses shares an alphabet's amount of advanced words paired with fun illustrations to teach new words to both children and adults alike!

This is a fantastic way for both children and adults to learn and retain bigger vocabulary words!

Each of the twenty-six words includes the phonetic spelling to make it easier to sound out and bright, colorful illustrations that help explain them. There's another twenty-six words with their phonetic spelling and definitions without illustrations on the last two words so you can learn twice as many big new words!

Who doesn't love to learn new words?!

I personally love the word 'widdershins' and use it regularly! 

I was also extra excited to see my all-time favorite word, hippopotomonstrossesquipedaliophobia, or the fear of long words, in this children's book!
