Realistic Fiction--Picture Book--The Boy Who Loved Words

The Boy Who Loved Words

Illustrations by Giselle Potter

2006

Selig has an extreme love for words.  He realizes his mission in life is to share them with the world.

 

This is a great book to share with students when starting a vocabulary unit.  I enjoyed the emotion the author shows and how well he portrays the boys feelings for his words.  He collects them and cherishes them.  I have used this book, as an introduction to having my students start their own personal word collection or word wall, for later use or when they find a new word.
