Description: Meet Oleander who likes to keep busy and her pet salamander Sally Mander who prefers to take it easy. As they go about their days in these five stories they're visited by the Sprinkle Fairy (she's the owner of a word factory in Sicily) and her helpers who've slipped a Big Word into each story. Which means when Sally Mander is slacking off on her gardening duties Oleander accuses her of procrastinating. And when Sally Mander loses a fight to a bird over a worm she demands that the bird regurgitate the worm immediately. It's all fun with words - - - BIG time! This collection of quirky bite - sized stories is part of a clever series of highly original early readers by Judith Henderson. The text is dialogue driven broken up into small bits and accompanied by T. L. Mc Beth's small simple and humor - filled spot illustrations making it just right for emerging readers. These books are also terrific tools for expanding budding vocabularies with the pronunciation and definition included for each of the five multisyllabic Big Words. Children will be trying them out in no time!
