A great gift

I got this book as a gift from a friend today. She's a word nut like me, I love weird and unusual words. The words in the book will add color to your vocabulary or simply remind of some of the rarer words you've heard. It will make you laugh out loud saying some of them.

"L is for Lollygag" is simply a fun book. It's a quick read, but one that you'll want to re-read immediately. It was released by Chronicle Kids, but adults will find it entertaining as well--I know I did! While I knew most of the words it covered, it's a good reference for when you're looking for that perfect 19th century turn of phrase.
