Grade 3-6Word Works joins other books in this fine series in its fresh, original and nondidactic approach to information-sharing with children. This book does not just tell them about words; it involves them in learning about usage, etymology and issues involved with words such as censorship. There are clever chapters on writing: keeping journals, writing poetry, starting newspapers. Words of the future as well as codes are explored. There are even recipes for monogrammed pancakes and alphabet cookies. Weston's line drawings enhance the work significantly. Energetic, resourceful, inquisitive children are going to love Word Works. It's a winner! Jerry Flack, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
