100 First Words for Little Bookworms

Fascinating, fun, and unique, "The 100 First Words for Little Bookworms" by the collaborative team of author/bookworm Stephanie Campisis and artist/illustrator (and fellow bookworm) Kyle Kershner is a delightful and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library board book collections for children ages 3-5. -- James A Cox * Midwest Book Review *
"This bookworm learned she isn't as much of a bookworm as she thought, as she looked up several terms in this book which is as much a book for a board book loving child to an inquisitive adult. A smile will cross the older reader's face when encountering Beverly Cleary's Klickatat Street, and Winnie the Pooh's spelling of 'hunny', as childhood reading memories come to mind. Wonderings may occur when encountering the word droogs or exeunt. The entire book is a learning experience especially when shared with a middle schooler or high school student. Perhaps your high schooler has just read Grendel or the Picture of Dorian Gray. Both appear in the book, as do useful literary terms such as protagonist and hero's journey. Literary allusions abound, which is why bookworms will love sharing their knowledge while perusing this book with a child or a friend. This book would make an excellent stocking stuffer for any English teacher as well as a fun book to have in any setting." * Children's Literature *
