The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus
Written by Jen Bryant, illustrated by Melissa Sweet, and published by Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
About
Peter Mark Roget, whose boyhood passion for list-making and finding the right word for every situation, led him to create his “treasure house” of a book, the thesaurus. Bryant’s engaging, accessible narrative and Sweet’s delightfully detailed mixed media illustrations meld together to create “a marvel, a wonder, a surprise,” of a book.
