Consequence, cooperate and patience are just a few of the big words tackled in Jamie Lee Curtis' new chidren's book "Big Words for Little People." The book, wonderfully written and illustrated, allows parents to teach and discuss vocabulary to their children in a witty and whimsical way.
What parents will like: The book is filled with fanciful images that parents can use to facilitate the conversation about words and definitions. The main message: Big words don't have to be scary. Instead, kids can have fun learning new words to describe the world around them.
What kids will like: My daughters, 5 and 2, liked the funny drawings and rhymes, and related to the humor.
