The Word Snoop

246 pp. | Dial | July, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3406-7 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tohby Riddle. In the guise of the eponymous Word Snoop, Dubosarsky delivers a cursory, chatty tour of the evolution of the English language from ancient to modern times. She covers expected topics (spelling, punctuation) in addition to a potpourri of lesser-known tidbits; her enthusiasm for the intricacies and oddities of the English language is infectious. Pen-and-ink drawings help keep the lessons light. Glos.
