Big Words for Little People by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell.

The team of Curtis and Cornell return with another great book for children.  Curtis may just be the sole celebrity children’s book author who really has street cred.  As with the rest of their books, this one is bright, funny and lifts children up rather than talking down to them.  Here they look at big words, words that will empower children to have their own discussions with grownups by using grownup words.  Big words like privacy, consequences, responsible, and respect.  All words that children will hear in school and will want to understand really well.

The illustrations are once again warm, silly and joyous.  The text embraces this same feel, allowing itself to be childlike and fun but not demeaning at all.

Recommended for sharing with Kindergarten classes early in the year so they understand school rules, but also for children who enjoy words too.  Appropriate for ages 5-7.
