Hardcover. Condition: Good. Polacco, Patricia (illustrator). First Edition. There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better! Patricia's brother Richard could run the fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin. But when little Patricia wishes on a shooting star that she could do something-anything-to show him up, she finds out just what wishes-and rotten redheaded older brothers-can really do. Patricia Polacco's boldly and exuberantly painted pictures tell a lively and warmhearted tale of comic one-upsmanship and brotherly love.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Comstock, Eric (illustrator). Teachers will have field day with this wordplay; this caper is clever, capricious, and cunning. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Bored with sitting in a dictionary day in, day out, the words make a break for it and organize a parade whichintroduce linguistics terminology in just about the most playful way possible. -Publishers Weekly (starred review)This is a charming, peppy introduction, enhanced by Comstocks energetic, retro-flair illustrations, which fill the pages with cavorting words and creative detailsIn approach and format, this is both entertaining and educational-likely to hold and pique kids interest in the topic and provide a fun learning supplement. -Booklist (starred review)When all of the words escape from the dictionary, its up to Noah Webster to restore alphabetical order in this supremely wacky picture book that celebrates language.Words have secret lives. On a quiet afternoon the words escape the dictionary (much to the consternation of Mr. Noah Webster) and flock to Hollywood for a huge annual event-Lexi-Con. Liberated from the pages, words get together with friends and relations in groups including an onomatopoeia marching band, the palindrome family reunion, and hide-and-seek antonyms. Its all great fun until the words disagree and begin to fall apart. Can Noah Webster step in to restore order before the dictionary is disorganized forever?.
