review:
'Big Words Small Stories: The Missing Donut' by Judith Henderson with illustrations by T.L. McBeth is a series of short stories that all feature a big word. And a cat that likes to cause trouble.

The stories in this book are for younger readers. They feature a boy named Cris and his Cat, Crat. There is also a Sprinkle Fairy who likes to wave her wand and add a big word to each story. For the story of the missing donut, the word is Purloined. It includes a pronunciation guide and plenty of definitions. Each of the first 5 stories includes a new big word. The last story features all 5 of the previous big words.

The stories are cute. The Sprinkle Fairy's friends, the sprinklers are cute and enthusiastic. The introduction of the big word in the story seems to distract from the story being told, but I guess that's part of the fun.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Kids Can Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
