(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Lopes. To make this useful volume less daunting, Baker divides her word "stories" into various subject categories in sixteen chapters. Headings such as "Math Magic & Science Synergy," "Spectacular Sports," and "Military Madness" will help young readers find a topic that particularly intrigues them. Words are listed alphabetically within the sections, and pronunciation guides are in the index.
