Product Description
Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.

interesting May 14, 2008
this story is about a boy who loves words. he collects words and saves his favourites and he's ostracized because of this and comes to a point where he's left home and a man stumbles upon some of his words and makes a poem out of them. he then decides it's his purpose to spread his words around the world. at the end he meets a girl named melody and the narrator says if ever a word comes upon you it's because of the boy, and if you feel like singing it's because melody's with him.
kind of working the muse idea. this book was ok, but i've seen the 'divine inspiration' idea done better elsewhere. it has a little glossary at the back of the book that goes over some of the more difficult words they use, because some fancy words are put you use, so that's good.
overall, there are better stories out there, but this one is a decent read.

The Boy Who Loved Words by Roni Schotter is a must have book to inspire struggling writers. It is a perfect addition to a teacher's collection of literature books to demonstrate the 6 Traits of writing.
Can you believe it's one of my two-year-old's favorite books??? August 24, 2007

I looked at this book at a bookstore in February. I read it and didn't buy it because I thought that no two-year-old would like it. I was wrong. We found it in the libary a month or two ago and checked it out. It quickly became the must-read bedtime story for my daughter. She turns three in two weeks and she's receiving her very own copy for her birthday! She thinks it's the coolest book!
REMARKABLE! August 24, 2007
This book belongs in every elementary classroom in America! This book is one of the funniest children's books I have ever read. The way in which the author introduces words and how to use them is indescribable in this short review. This book is FUN, creative, imaginative, and a thrill to read.

As a teacher I purchased this book for use in my fourth grade classroom. I would have to say that this book utilizes some mighty big words. However I also feel that it it is great for vocabulary development.
