Description

After immersing themselves in mantras in I AM Manifesto, young siblings Hao Finley and Sabine Yi Lee are on their journey of seeking knowledge from around the world. In Humongous (& Cool) Words For Kids, these philomaths not only learn about words from their own and other cultures and countries, they absorb new facts about stuff they thought they knew. Name the subject, they're sharing: science and math (big, uncomplicated check!), different languages ("oui, sí, shì" check!), environmental awareness (layered-atmosphere check!), etiquette (thank you, check!), music (treble clef check!), international cuisine (lots of yummy checks!), and many more. All shared with wit.

I reviewed this book on Goodreads under my name. I thought the words were definitely humongous and the definitions and illustrations were quite good. However, I felt they were too involved for the ages of the readers. This is a most interesting book!

This book is an awesome read for any age! I enjoyed skimming through my during my breaks and lunch! No need to read the book from cover to cover all at once! It's arranged alphabetically, but it's an excellent book to browse through and learn a few new words, in five languages, no less! It's entertaining for all ages!

This book features colorful illustrations paired with a wide range of words for young people (and old) to learn. It’s eye-catching and would be a great text to include when teaching vocabulary. A very cool idea executed well.

"Humongous (& Cool) Words for Kids" by SB Hilarion is a fun and educational book for older kids. This is a great resource for a child who loves to read and to learn. It has good pictures of various words in this "dictionary" of humongous words for kids.

The words have both a multicultural aspect in many cases, where the child learns about new cultures as they learn the new words and at other times they are specialized words for various niches in art, music, architecture, science, and other fields. This is a great gift for an eight to twelve-year-old who with a voracious appetite for learning. It could also come in handy for a young one trying to best their parent or another adult in Scrabble.

I enjoyed learning some new words and I think the intelligent child in your life would enjoy it too.
