Here's what I took away from 13 Words: it's never too early to introduce children to words like "haberdashery." And really, that's a lesson that's worth sharing.13 Words is more than just a vocabulary-building exercise; there's a plot in there, too. There is a bird, and he is despondent. (Bird and despondent are words one and two). So his friend, a dog, decides to try to cheer him up with some cake (there are many different kinds of cake, but that's a different story...). Then there's a convertible-driving goat, and some hats, and a haberdashery, and a baby, and a mezz0-soprano...well, really, you kind of have to read the book to really understand it. Definitely check this one out.
