Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Meet Oleander, who likes to keep busy, and her pet salamander, Sally Mander, who prefers to take it easy. As they go about their days in these five stories, they're visited by the Sprinkle Fairy (she's the owner of a word factory in Sicily) and her helpers, who've slipped a Big Word into each story. Which means, when Sally Mander is slacking off on her gardening duties, Oleander accuses her of procrastinating . And when Sally Mander loses a fight to a bird over a worm, she demands that the bird regurgitate the worm immediately. It's all fun with words -- BIG time!
This collection of quirky, bite-sized stories is part of a clever series of highly original early readers by Judith Henderson. The text is dialogue driven, broken up into small bits, and accompanied by T. L. McBeth's small, simple and humor-filled spot illustrations, making it just right for emerging readers. These books are also terrific tools for expanding budding vocabularies, with the pronunciation and definition included for each of the five multisyllabic Big Words. Children will be trying them out in no time!
Short stories.
"Smell the daisies is the third book in the Big Words Small Stories series. Each book in this series features five multi-syllabic words that are fun to say and use, in five quirky short stories. In this book, we meet the adorable Oleander and her pet salamander, Sally Mander. Oleander likes to keep busy, and Sally Mander likes to take it easy. As in the first two books in the series, the pair are visited by the Sprinkle Fairy and her helpers, who have slipped a big word into each story--and its pronunciation and definition after. The five stories pack a lot of laughs, whether it's Sally Mander PROCRASTINATING instead of planting her share of daisies in the garden, or demanding that a bird REGURGITATE a worm that was rightfully hers."-- Provided by publisher.
