Thanks everyone for the feedback! Ms Tri - I agree the advanced words could be a nice way for kids to improve their vocabulary. However, the book seems geared toward much younger kids so it could prove frustrating. A glossary would have been helpful in this case. Egypt_lee - Welcome to the forums. :)

I love this idea! Hopefully with a parent's help children will be able to learn the new words - though you're right, a glossary would be really helpful. Thanks for the thoughtful review!
