A Chest Full of Words
The power of words gets a literal twist in this quirky picture book. When Oscar finds a chest full of words, he is disappointed—until he realizes they can transform the world around him. He sticks “hairy” on an oak tree, and it sprouts waves of pink hair; a beetle gets “monstrous” before Oscar swiftly adds “adorable.” Before long, the words run dry; Oscar’s search for more brings him to a like-minded gardener who teaches him how to find and respect words.
