The Dictionary of Difficult Words

Jane Solomon Press Reviews

'a fantastically fun family book' - Let Them Be Small

'fantastic for dipping into or reading right through ... some wonderful notes at the beginning about the parts of speech, and how to work out what a word means and how to pronounce it, as well as some simple notes at the end about usage, and all written in a bouncy light tone, which feels friendly and yet still authoritative. Quite a frabjous book.' - Minerva Reads

'will amaze even the most eloquent wordsmith (adult or child!)' - Angels and Urchins

'A fun, playful and clever book brimming with perplexing words ... You could have a lot of fun just pronouncing the words, as well as trying to get them into everyday language. A wonderfully whimsical celebration of words.' - Just Imagine

'A brilliant way to encourage children to appreciate the beauties of our language and to extend their vocabulary and improve their writing skills. Wonderful!' - Parents in Touch
