Schotter's original tall tale--"chockablock" with whimsical illustrations by Porter--is an ode to language, the gusto of words, and one boy's passion to share them. Full color.
In this Parents' Choice Gold Award-winning book, Selig collects words, ones that stir his heart (Mama ) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.
