What can you do with a word? Read it, spell it, say it, picture it, understand it, make a sentence with it, tell a story with it, share it with a friend. Everything starts with a love of words! More than 300 words inspired by Dr. Edward Fry’s list of sight words are paired with striking and playful illustrations by internationally renowned designer and artist Christoph Niemann to deepen understanding, to enrich, and to enlighten those learning to read and write English, whether they be children or adults. This compilation of more than 300 words and pictures encourages reading, fuels the imagination, and offers hours of decoding fun. Christoph Niemann has illustrated each word with a picture that challenges readers to make connections and puzzle out meaning in a playful way. Homophones, basic punctuation, and an assortment of silly and unusual words are also included to delineate the eighteen sections of the book. Browse the pages to discover words you don’t know (or find a new facet of the ones you do)! Create your own stories or poems by combining words, images, and ideas. Can you think of other words to describe the images, or new drawings to interpret the words? Cover a word with your finger and ask a friend to guess it just by looking at the picture. Or pick a word and draw (or write) what you think happens next. . . . This is an excellent, original, and exuberant teaching tool for parents as well as elementary school teachers, and it will also be useful for ESL programs. Includes an introduction and an index. Review: Great for child who finds reading a challenge - Besides the point that this designer is great at what he does, the images and the words help significantly to connect the sign of the word (letters on the page) with the image on the page and thus signifier in the brain. In particular for those struggling with words of abstract meaning, this book will make reading fun, more relatable and accessible. Review: Imaginative, creative, educational..... fun! - My 5 year old and 9 year old children are loving this book. So am I....

Clever, Thought provoking way of exploring words and how to use them
This is a fantastic book for kids and also not kids. It takes three hundred common words and illustrates them in interesting and thought provoking ways. Some of them I am still not sure I see the connection to the word through yet. It's one of those books that is great to share because it provokes good discussion about what words mean, particularly when he uses one word and illustrates it in two or three different ways to show the changes in usage. It's not your average A is for apple, B is for ball, book, and it's all the better for it. Plus, if I had kids, I'd totally let them colour these illustrations in. I shall wait for grandchildren.

5 Stars for Words
We bought this for my 5 year old. Big book with lots of words. We make up sentences with each word and image. Then we have her spell the word. It's helping her learn her letters, words, and creativity. It's been fun to switch up our evening readings.

Excelente!
O livro contém mais de 300 palavras e ilustrações que representam o significado dessas palavras. Os desenhos são simples, mas muito bem feitos, e ilustram muito bem a relação entre palavras e as imagens a que elas nos remetem.
