Big Words for Little People & Olivia goes to Venice


Big Words for Little People by Jamie Lee Curtis & Laura Cornell

The title explains it all.

Mom's Review: Fun book! I love the word usage and how it explains the words without being obvious definitions. An example:
When you are at school
and you get into trouble
for chewing your gum,
then exploding a bubble,
and you stay inside
when your friends get to play,
your
CONSEQUENCE is
no recess that day.


Daughter's Review:
I liked all of it because it was really funny.

Olivia goes to Venice written and illustrated by Ian Falconer

Our favorite pig visits Italy.

Mom's Review:
Precocious Olivia visits Venice. It's really cool how the backgrounds are actual images of Italy.

Daughter's Review: I didn't like it because I really don't like cities. (Whatever *that* means.)
