Big Words for Little People

Big Words for Little People
by: Jamie Lee Curtis

It's tough being a kid in a grown up world, and Jamie Lee Curtis gets this so well.  In Big Words she lays out in straighforward kid language the ins and outs of grown up words like "respect," "privacy," "cooperate," "appropriate", and "family."  It's a great introduction to those really big concepts which are tricky for young minds.

Preschoolers yearn to please, and around here my husband and I often assume our child understands exactly what we mean.  Boy, I assume my husband understands exactly what I mean and that's not true all the time!  Putting some of the big words we take for granted into kid context might get us closer to operating in the same place.
