The Word Collector

So this book is difficult to read, so much so that the book has two pages at the back that have all the text. I could see some kiddos loving that and others (such as those who may already struggle with books) loosing interest. The illustrations are a mixed bag, some are lovely, most are strange, all appear white/pale.
Also for a book about words the words seem pedestrian to me, what a missed opportunity... and now I'm changing the review from 3 to 2.
