review 1: What a fun book! This book lists cooky words in the English language, using categories that range from "names for your twin cats" to alternate sets of words to help you count one through ten (hence the title). My personal favorite lists: The "heavy" and "light" words -- weigh them as you say them -- only a poet could make these observations. Could ignite an interest in linguistics for children and adults. It's not a dictionary, but it makes you want to dig into one :)
review 2: I loved, loved, loved this book. Did I say I love this book? This is a book for all you long-winded, locquacious, verbose lovers of our fine language. It was really funny and words used I never ever heard of. It just left me feeling Ram Tam Gee Pickagee! Feeling good! In it he g... moreives names to everything. I loved the part where he names twins like Wishy and Washy for fish, Higgledy-Piggledy (good names for pigs) or Shilly and Shally or Dilly and Dally or Knick and Knack. Namby and Pamby are better names for poodles;.Just a fun book. I want to go out and name some birds or something. less
