I try to read
Donovan's Word Jar to get kids excited about words, but it has been difficult lately to squeeze in this chapter book even though it is short. In the process of purging some educational magazines I found
Max's Words as a suggested book. A picture book may be exactly what I need. I previewed
Max's Words by Kate Bank at Amazon and that led to
The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Schotter. I have ordered them from the library for a better look before actual purchase.
