Ebenezer Has a Word for Everything

Description

Ebenezer collects words. But it's hard to find someone who shares his passion. No one seems to understand Ebenezer's word collections, but his efforts are finally appreciated when he meets Fitzgerald. Though, Fitzgerald doesn't have a word collection-he has an idea collection. Together, they are able to create stories that entertain their classmates and families and learn more about one another as friends. Chelsea H. Rowe's offbeat story about friendship, collaboration, and a love for both language and stories is perfectly depicted by Frank Dormer's quirky illustrations. Perfect for vocabulary building, this book also includes a list of words and definitions in the back.

Chelsea H. Rowe is a mother of four and the owner of a luxury picnic company. Her own word collection started when she was ten and is still growing. Her current favorite is eucatastrophe (yo_x035E_ok_x0259__x02C8_tastr_x0259_fe_x0304_, a sudden and happy ending to a story). Ebenezer Has a Word for Everything is her first book. She lives in Savannah, Georgia. Frank Dormer graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in illustration and divides his time between teaching and writing and illustrating children's books. His favorite word is hot dog. He lives in Connecticut.
