    About this ebook

    A long time ago I was at a railroad crossing, waiting for a train to pass. For some reason I thought about the word locomotive. It's really just a big word for train. I began to wonder how many other words had big word synonyms. I more I looked, the more I found. So I compiled them into my "Little books". These books use colorful pictures and association to help introduce big words to kids. Want to learn more big words? come check this out!
