The Big Word Book of the Modern House
About this book
Four children, one grandmother, fourteen animals, two neighbours, thousands of everyday objects, 1,699 words to name everything in the house, hours and hours of shared reading!
A house, filled with objects and inhabited by a funny and endearing team, unfolds the universe of each room in captioned panels.
These scenes display a precise and nuanced vocabulary, a fundamental tool for enlightened thinking and communication – even when describing things as trivial as a toilet seat...
With imagination and humour, Clémence Paldacci updates the classic word books that marked her childhood such as Richard Scarry’s or Alain Grée’s. In this book, we repair our bikes by following tutorials, grandma is never far from her fluorescent smartphone, but we also find VHS tapes in the attic... A crazy, reference-filled journey to share with the family!
