The words in Webster’s Dictionary have gotten bored of sitting around in his book all day and decide to go on an adventure. Different words are highlighted and depicted as their own parts of speech. There are antonyms and contractions, verbs and proper nouns. Eventually, Webster enlists the help of Roget and they are able to corral the words together.

This was a unique take on highlighting different words and word structures. The examples that are provided are well done and make a lot of sense. Readers will enjoy the play on words.
