13 Little – or not so little – Words

March 12, 2011 by Alice

This unusual book introduces thirteen surprising words – and a few twists.

13-words.jpg13 Words
Lemony Snicket

HarperCollins
ISBN: 978 0 06166 465 6
Audience: 3 to 8 years

13 words:

1. Bird
2. Despondent
3. Cake
4. Dog
5. Busy
6. Convertible
7. Goat
8. Hat
9. Haberdashery
10. Scarlet
11. Baby
12. Panache
13. Mezzo-Soprano

These are good words, but need a little context, in some cases, and it is provided, after a fashion, by the weaving of these words into an amusing, sweet story of some friends, with a strong surrealist bent. The whole is charmingly offbeat, and Maira Kalman’s wonderfully bright illustrations tie the whole weird little world inside together beautifully.

Buy this for someone who needs a little something different or who appreciates the oddly beautiful!
