The Disheveled Dictionary: A Curious Caper Through Our Sumptuous Lexicon
by Karen Elizabeth Gordon
Probably the only dictionary you and your kids will ever read just for fun. There are lists of words to wrap around your thoughts and words to find sentences for, words to embrace, and some to abuse, and words for one's private use because no one will ever put them on a billboard.
