Ursula Dubosarsky – The Word Snoop

Meet the Word Snoop. She’s dashing and daring and witty as can be – and no one knows more about the evolution of the English language than she does. Luckily, she’s spilling her secrets in this gem of a book. From the first alphabet in 4000 BC, to anagrams, palindromes, and modern-day text messages, readers will learn all about the fascinating twists and turns our fair language has taken to become what it is today.

With playful black-and-white illustrations, riddles to solve, and codes to break, The Word Snoop is definitive proof that words can spark the imagination and are anything but dull. This is a book for every aspiring writer, and every true reader.   źródło opisu: http://www.us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay…(?) źródło okładki: http://www.us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay…»
