June Day 1 of new books at SLCOLibrary

Day 1 of amazing new books.  These are ones in the four hundreds (Language) and eight hundreds (Literature and Rhetoric).  What's not to love with titles like Little Envelope of Earth Conditons, Ecstasy and Terror, and Long Live Latin?

Author #119: Do symbols mean anything? Jim Tobin changes an inappropriate word

I laughed aloud while reading this distinctly distinguished picture book: The Very Inappropriate Word by Jim Tobin and illustrated by Dave Coverly.  I look forward to looking up more books by both author and illustrator.  This is one of those books I would seriously consider buying for our personal library.

Micheal collects words.  One day he hears an inappropriate word and what happens next is all too common and hilarious in that awkward kind of way.   What Michael's teacher does in response to the word being said in her classroom promotes how we can bring out the best in others, letting the inappropriate fall by the wayside.  This is also a top-notch book to show the advantages of a wide vocabulary.   The illustrations are done to exemplify the words written, emphasizing the meaning.
