My 3yo and I both learned a lot from this book! Great hardback quality that will keep this on my coffee table for other adults to peruse through!

Wonderful Additional to All Home Libraries! The book itself is beautiful! I love the concept of sharing these specialized words that can be either surprisingly relatable OR unique to the countries from where they are derived (thus giving some insight to some diverse cultures). It's so great that each page also shares some facts related to that word in addition to the definition. And I'm sooooo grateful for the pronunciation index at the end of the book so that I can clue myself in on how to attempt to say some of these. The book really does beg to be on display with its perfect size and gorgeous cover. We have some picture shelves in our living room where this has been added to the display. Just love it!
