In this day and age of "did you google that"? I decided that the creator of the dictionary should be included in my author pages. Spelling seems to be so much easier than when I was growing up...Microsoft underlines a mispelled word, dictionary.com gives it multiple definitions and google does everything else. But I love a dictionary best! I have a great old discard with wonderful illustrations - now that's a book! Sorry about the bright read ink, Noah - I thought it would be a little more subdued, but hey, at least you got a card!
It was just recently that the first winner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee died, he must have spent a lot of time with Noah... of course 'G-L-A-D-I-O-L-U-S' might not make it as a final round word these days...
ReplyDeleteThis card is excellent, Noah looks a little like, 'go ahead, ask me what it means, I dare you...' or perhaps it's more 'oh, like noone has asked me that before...' nice.
I can't believe the words the kids have to spell in the National Bee - it's crazy. I wonder how many use those ... it's a good day to revisit Save the Words! http://www.savethewords.org
