Review: The Lost Words
Gaby Meares
Words removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary are given new life in this stunning book written by Robert Macfarlane and illustrated by Jackie Morris. These words are wild words, describing the natural world; a world that children are losing. Words like: acorn, bluebell, fern, willow, wren and otter. It breaks my heart that these words are seen to be irrelevant to today’s children.
So, this is a book to own, to cherish, and to share with the children in your life.
