From the creators of the bestseller Storytellers Dictionary comes the My Epic Life Word Book for children ages 4-8 years. All the hilariously illustrated words every child needs to learn to express themselves in today’s world. This is not your average dictionary. It is a dictionary, but its also a truly epic life. Designed by literacy experts to be hilariously fun and endlessly surprising, each page bursts with Hollywood illustration. The words are curated from relevant, global curriculum lists for kids aged four to eight, with extra challenging vocabulary added to the mix. This dictionary gives children the words that need to express themselves in every part of life from emotions to maths, food to philosophy, making a big mucky mess to cleaning up, as well as a whole section on the future of technology.

I cannot praise this book enough, I have a 5-year-old Son and a 4-year-old daughter who both absolutely loved this book, some of the words were for older children but my two particularly enjoyed the QR animations, they thought that they were hilarious.

Now I normally review a book from my point of view, what I liked, what drew me in etc. however seeing as this is a children’s book, I thought I would ask them.

As I said my children are young, they liked the fact that there were numbers to learn as well as words. They liked the funny characters, and how colourful the book was. I liked the fact that they were learning new words as well as a new way to express their emotions. For example, they learned the word ‘Exhilarated’ and my son used that word in a sentence, in the correct context. The QR animations are genius, as with most children, my two love watching YouTube so the fact that they were able to read something in a book and the watch the exact same thing on YouTube was amazing.

We keep going back to the book to learn more words so the learning and fun is never ending and I will most definitely be buying more.
