Best Word Book Ever

Product Information

The concept couldn't be simpler: Here's the picture, here's the label. This is a "_____." Look and name, look and name, all through the book. First of all, tapping into the voracious (unconscious) desires of the three and four year old to build vocabulary... I remember looking at this book endlessly, never tiring of naming--naming naming naming--a distinct developmental function both enjoyable and useful. The three year old vacuums it up, and it all becomes a part of their language skills. Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever / El mejor libro de palabras de Richard Scarry". Barnes and Noble.

Best Word Book Ever by Richard Scarry | Waterstones

I liked how the family are portrayed for the most part - it's always good to see the Daddy do some of the washing up! I honestly don't think I'm asking for much when all I'm wanting out of a children's book is some semblance of connective tissue to hold the images and words included in the book together, or at least a discernible train of logic. A good example of a children's book with seemingly random words and definitions would be A Hold is to Dig, by Ruth Krauss, which is a book full of silly definitions, but the train of logic pulling you from one definition to the other always feels clear. It's organized, guided randomness, if that makes any sense at all. There's a lot of care, and thought that goes into each silly definition, and the next silly definition that comes after it This word book is just thoughtless, chaotic, lazy randomness. And it is everything I hate about the worst children's books have to offer.Ottawa, Ukrainian Publishing.

By 1980 the book had been edited to remove some of what became perceived as stereotypical roles for females and to update terminology. [6] At least 14 changes were made, including changing a male "policeman" to a female "police officer" on the front cover, and changing "handsome pilot" to "pilot" and "pretty stewardess" into "flight attendant." [6]Best Word Book Ever by Richard Scarry was published in 1963 and became a best-selling children's book. Scarry had been illustrating children's books since 1950, but this was his first as both author and illustrator. The book also marked the beginning of the author's work on the "Best Ever" series. Now when I realise that Best Little Word Book Ever was originally published in 1978, I (personally) do find it positive and for the 1970s still rather rare and avant-garde that in the as main characters featured Cat family, author and illustrator Richard Scarry also has the father doing his share of the housework, that for example, while Mother Cat is cooking, Father Cat is equally present in the kitchen washing dishes (with all family members later helping with shopping for groceries at the supermarket).
