The Word Burrow Picture Dictionary

The Word Burrow Picture Dictionary of Word Secrets
Every word has a secret picture hidden inside. Can your little word detective find it?
Join Blinkle, Bramble, Wiggleby and Tuffet, the friendly, fuzzy monsters of The Word Burrow, on a colorful trip through 30 words that kids love, in order from A to Z. Every word gets its own full-color illustrated page with:
• An easy way to say it, so children can sound it out, clap it out and say it proudly.
• A simple meaning that young readers can understand.
• A short origin story that shows the surprising picture hiding inside the word. Ever wondered why a hippopotamus is called a "river horse"? Or how a pineapple got its name?
Kids will giggle, guess and gasp as each word's secret comes out. Grown-ups will enjoy watching a love of language grow. A matching activity at the end turns new knowledge into play, and a Word Detective certificate gives every reader a reason to celebrate.
Made for ages 4-6, this 8.5 × 11-inch book works for bedtime reading, classroom read-alouds, homeschool lessons or quiet time. Scan the QR code on the back cover to watch the monsters bring these words to life on The Word Burrow's YouTube channel.
Monster brains, ON. The secrets are waiting.
