The Fun Facts Dictionary: A World of Weird and Wonderful Words (Three of Three Series)

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing!
Review: I ordered this book to find material for my "Word of the Day" I use in class. While the book does have interesting information about words, it also proselytizes for Christianity about every third or fourth entry. Examples: After telling about an elephant (as if most kids don't know!), "Aren't you glad YOU can jump? Do some jumping today! Go outside and jump...and tell God thanks for YOUR special spring mechanism!" About 'far-flung,' "...you could say that you have one far-flung friend who is always near - your friend God!" A great book for hard-core Christians, perhaps, but not recommended for anyone with a different view.
