Oleander and Sally Mander are back in their 3rd book, learning new vocabulary words from the Sprinkle Fairy. In 5 funny stories we learn about "regurgitate" when Sally and a bird argue about who gets to eat the worm; "attire" when Sally is inappropriately dressed at the diner; "flabbergasted" "procrastinating" and "pecadillo" round out the new words.
It's so fun to learn fancy vocabulary words in this Big Words, small stories series. I appreciated that the new words are (for the most part) still in general use today. McBeth's silly illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Henderson's delightful early chapter book.
