BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Calvin is frustrated with his older brother – and all of the frustration shows on the pages on the dictionary Calvin carries, looking for the perfect word to describe that brother. Through a very busy day – both for Calvin and the dictionary – Calvin finds the perfect word and the dictionary gets some well-deserved rest. 

Librarians be aware – the important words and their definitions are on the end pages of the book – so DON’T COVER THEM UP! Kids will need help pronouncing the words and understanding the definitions. A silly book about sibling dynamics and also about some great words to learn.
