YOUNGER FICTION

The Missing Donut

(3) 1-3 Big Words Small Stories series. Illustrated by T. L. McBeth. In six everyday-type vignettes, strait-laced boy Cris and his goofy cat, Crat, learn "big words" (including discombobulated and bamboozled) with help from the Sprinkle Fairy. It's pretty obvious that the spot-illustrated stories are written around the vocabulary words, but prompts from the book itself will have kids trying out these new words, which are, yes, big as well as funny-sounding enough to keep their attention.
